Safari

[jj4091]

I have an old MacBook Pro laptop with Safari version 13.1.2 with which I am having problems on more and more websites functioning correctly, whereas they are OK with Firefox. Firefox will automatically transfer all my Favourites from Safari but not log in details. Does anyone know a way round this as Apple will not let me update Safari. Thanks

You could try this, to at least view your old passwords?

You can export the passwords to a file and then import them into Firefox or Google Chrome. From Apple's website:

1) In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > Export > Passwords.
2) Click Export Passwords.
WARNING: Your passwords are exported to a CSV file. The CSV file is not encrypted and anyone reading the file can see your passwords.
3) Enter a name and choose a location for the CSV file, then click Save.
4) Enter the login password for your Mac.
5) To use the exported passwords in another browser, import the CSV file you created.

Hope this helps.
