My iMac’s video card broke, so I removed the HD and connected it as an external drive to a new Mac. How can I retrieve bookmark data (server login data) stored internally in RapidWeaver? ---

Can you boot from the external HD? If you can, you can retrieve that information. > **[Mac startup key combinations](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201255)** > > Learn about the Mac features and tools that you can access by holding down one or more keys during startup.  Without knowing your O.S. you need to choose your option. Command R if possible or more likely hold the Option Key down at startup and choose the external. If you are one of the people who used The Cloud, it might vary… ---

I can’t. My new Mac mini has Big Sur installed. And the old “broken” iMac has High Sierra, so I think I can’t use his HD as external HD as boot. ---

If you know were on the old hard drive, you put the addons folder I think there is a file called `bookmark.db` that contains the bookmark data. I never have tried to move that, so I’m not sure. I believe they store the login credentials on the Mac’s KeyChain. Your KeyChain might be on the new Mac if you had and still use the iCloud KeyChain. ---
