You can save, manage, and secure your passwords across your devices using Google Password Manager. These step-by-step instructions come from official help documentation from Google.
What it does
Google Password Manager saves your passwords for different sites when you use Chrome. You can save passwords to your Google Account to use across your devices and in some apps, or store passwords locally on your device.
Before you start
Google specifies requirements for certain features, such as signing in to your Google Account in Chrome and having at least one saved password when using automated password change features.
Steps
Step 1: On your computer, open Chrome, select More Passwords and autofill Google Password Manager at the top right, select Add, enter a website, username, and password, and select Save.
Step 2: On your computer, sign in to Chrome, go to a website and sign up for an account, select the password text box and choose Use strong password or right-click the password text box to select Generate password, and then select Use suggested password.
Step 3: On your computer, open Chrome, select More Passwords and autofill Google Password Manager at the top right, and select Checkup on the left.
What the company says
Google notes that you can check all your saved passwords at once to find out if they are exposed in a data breach or potentially weak and easy to guess. The company also states that Chrome makes sure your passwords and username are protected so they can't be read by Google.
What to do
- Open Chrome on your computer, navigate to More Passwords and autofill Google Password Manager, and select Checkup to review saved passwords.
