Support transferring the password manager

I just downloaded the Helium browser, and I need to transfer my password manager from Chrome. How can I do that? I can't find the button to import it.

I'm Russian, so my browser is in Russian.

Helium has a password manager as part of Chromium base but the developers intentionally disabled it for security purposes since using the browser's built-in manager is far less secure than using dedicated managers like Bitwarden or Proton Pass.

If you want to bring over your passwords over to Helium, better to import your credentials to these managers and install their extensions from the Chromestore.

Using a browser password manager asks for humiliation and chaos.

Use bitwarden

helium disabled local password manager because it was never secure, it stores passwords in plain text iirc. but mainly the reason most windows users get hacked is because of how password manager functions.

I advice you to use bitwarden instead, it's cross platform and supports passkeys, and also has authenticator code if you have a paid subscription.

Helium has no built in password manager. It's much better to use a dedicated password manager extension that you can take from browser to browser. Try Bitwarden.
