Did you know that Google has an online password manager that gives you instant access to all your stored usernames and passwords from anywhere, anytime. You don’t even need Google Chrome to view the passwords.
Google Chrome has a built-in
password manager that offers to save your username and password whenever you
sign-in to a website using Chrome. The stored passwords are synced with your
Google Account and thus are available across all devices where you have signed
in using the same Google Account.
Google
Chrome is available for all platforms, including iOS and Android phones, and
thus you always have access to your saved passwords. However, if you prefer
using a different browser, like Safari on iPhone or Microsoft Edge on Windows
10, you can still access all your account passwords saved inside Chrome via
passwords.google.com.
Open the Google Passwords
website, sign-in in with your existing Google Account that you are using on
Chrome and you’ll find a list of every single account (and the associated
password) that you’ve used to sign-in in Chrome.
The passwords are hidden with asterisks but they can
be easily revealed by clicking the corresponding eye icon. You can also remove
any saved password from the list but there’s no option to edit passwords.
How to Hide Your Passwords
This is
another strong reason why you should to enable 2-factor authorization for your
Google Account. If someone gains access to your main Google account password,
they likely have access to your entire library of passwords through the Google
Passwords website.
If you are
not comfortable seeing your passwords inside the Google Passwords website, you
have two options. Either don’t save your passwords in Chrome at all or just
make them inaccessible from the Google website as explained here.
Open Google
Chrome on desktop and go to Settings – Advanced Sync Settings. Alternatively,
type chrome://settings/syncSetup in the browser address bar and hit
Enter. Under the Encryption Options, choose “Encrypt all synced data with your
own sync passphrase”, enter a passphrase and save the settings.
After a
minute or two, your passwords will no longer be available through the Google
Passwords website. If you have later change your mood, simply reset
to default settings
it is very useful for me..
