All Safepay bookmarks are stored in C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender Security App\Safepay\ProfilesData\OBK\<Username>\BankingUrls.xml

• Each Windows user account has its own <Username> folder and a different BankingUrls.xml file.
• You can back up this file by copying it into another folder from your computer (e.g. on the Desktop). After installing a fresh copy of Bitdefender you will be able to import the Safepay bookmarks by replacing the file BankingUrls.xml with the one you have on the Desktop. This procedure only applies to Safepay bookmarks, not other browsers.

Keep in mind that all the Bitdefender files are protected against any modification when Windows is running normally. This means that you need to replace the file in Safe Mode.

 

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you manually export and import your Safepay bookmarks.
