To import passwords to K-Meleon or export them from K-Meleon, use the Password Extractor extension. This extension is compatible with the Password Backup Tool and Password Exporter extensions for other browsers. You can also transfer passwords between 2 K-Meleon installations by transferring the password database file or the whole profile.

When upgrading K-Meleon, you can move your passwords over by moving your profile to the new installation:

1. Before you start your new version of K-Meleon, the profile folder in that installation will be empty.
2. Copy the entire folder from your old K-Meleon/profiles/<your_profile> folder.
3. Paste that folder into the new K-Meleon > Profiles which should be empty.
4. When you start K-Meleon you should have all of your old passwords plus all of your old settings.
