You can't do a restore from your backup drive? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Sorry 'bout that.

That's why I backup my passwords and bookmarks for all of my browsers to a micro SD drive about once a month. Also real handy when I had to temporarily switch computers while moving.

Where can I find the passwords file?

Gipsy, go to your browser's password manager. You want to "export passwords". Use that option to create and save the file.
I strongly recommend immediately moving this file to external storage such as an SD card or USB drive that will only be connected when needed for immediate use. The password file is plain text and is not encrypted. Anyone who can access the file can see all of the user names and passwords.

I keep a passworded Word file with IDs and passwords in it - on the laptop and on more than one thumb drive.
Beats trying to remember leventy-seven passwords for multiple medical groups plus the various other sites where I have an ID & password.
