How to migrate my bookmarks and passwords from chrome to brave browser? I’m using android device only.
in chrome just replace brave with chrome
(chrome://bookmarks/)…same for passwords
I have clearly mentioned that I’m using one android device only. Please give me a proper guidance if it is possible for you.
i cant think of any method right now. You would need a pc/computer.

That’s sad. I don’t have any equipments nearby.
if you can…save the bookmarks in new browser (brave) by opening and saving the sites one by one…it will take time but…it will work.

Can I create an accounting in brave like chrome (through Google) to save my bookmarks and passwords?
Unfortunately there is no way to do this on Android at this time. If you do have another PC to use with both Brave and Chrome installed, you can leverage Sync and:
On the PC, import data from Chrome → Brave
Create a new Sync chain in Brave (PC)
Add your Android device to that same Sync chain
Note that we do have an open issue for this functionality in mobile on our Github:

## Description
_This issue was originally created a couple years ago (#150) but I felt requires a bit of a bump and update given how frequently it's requested._
**Many users are "blocked" from switching over to Brave due to the inability to import their browsing data** (any/call data, but primary concern seems to be bookmarks) **into Brave from another browser.** Many users have several years worth of [bookmarks] saved (a la @rebron's 2000+ bookmarks from 2011 - present!) and manually re-entering/saving all this data is unrealistic. **This option allows users to try/switch over to Brave without having to sacrifice their data** - which, after import, can now be Synced across all their devices.
**The ability to export bookmarks/browsing data also solves the issue of "backing up" your data as well** - something Brave Sync doesn't offer. This is _particularly_ relevant when un/re-installing the app:
- If Brave is uninstalled, all associated data is cleared along with it. This can be frustrating for users who have important [bookmarks, passwords, etc] saved to Brave but either had to or tried (unknowingly) uninstalling the app to fix an issue, change devices, or any other relevant reason.
- Giving users the option to export their data to an HTML file (most likely) **ensures that their data is not lost should they need or want to uninstall or move the app on their device.**
### Additional Notes
Just for frame of reference - _Several_ popular web browsers already offer this option, including
- Firefox
- Vivaldi
- Opera
- Kiwi
- And even Dolphin
