To view a complete list of the usernames and passwords saved in Google Chrome, click your profile picture in the top right corner of the chrome browser window, then click on the “Passwords” key button.
You can also type chrome://settings/passwords into the address bar and hit Enter.
A new tab will open. Scroll down to the “Saved Passwords” section, here you will find a complete list of all the usernames and passwords saved to Chrome.

Windows will prompt you to enter your PC’s Login Info (Pin etc.) before you can view the password.
After you successfully enter your computer’s login info, the saved password is revealed in plain text.

If you need to export the whole list of saved user credentials, Chrome allows you to do that as well.
