How to export/import passwords in Chrome and Opera

I was shocked (literally, lol) to realise that copying my Opera and Chrome config folders didn't retrieve my passwords. Luckily it turned out there is a way to do that.
chrome://flags
opera://flags
There are sections
Password export
Password import
which allow you to import and export your passwords. You need:
1.  Enable the export on your old laptop  (opera://flags/?search=password#password-export)
2. Relaunch the browser so that the settings take effect
3. From Manage passwords - check the dots on top of your passwords and choose Export to file
4. Copy the file to your new laptop
5. Enable the import of passwords (opera://flags/?search=password#password-import)
6. Relaunch
7. From Manage Passwords choose Import.
And there you go, your precious passwords are there.
It's a good idea afterwards to disable both the import and the export and to delete the csv files. For your own security.
