How to Manage Passwords Across Devices with Chrome Password Manager

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Open Chrome Password Manager

    Type chrome://password-manager into Chrome's address bar, or go to Chrome Settings β†’ Autofill and passwords β†’ Google Password Manager.

  2. Sign in with your Google Account and turn on sync

    Signing into Chrome with your Google Account and turning on sync automatically syncs your saved passwords to every other computer and phone signed into the same account.

  3. Use the Google Password Manager app on Android and iPhone

    Android has it built into Settings, and on iPhone you can install the Google Password Manager or Chrome app to view the same saved passwords and use them for autofill.

  4. Review and delete saved passwords

    The Password Manager list shows the username and password saved for each site, and you can remove any entry you no longer need with the trash icon.

  5. Check the 'Password Checkup' warnings

    Running the built-in security check flags passwords that have appeared in a data breach, are reused across multiple sites, or are too simple.

  6. Generate and use a strong password automatically

    When signing up for a new account or changing a password, choosing Chrome's suggested 'Use strong password' option generates and saves a complex password for you.

One Vault, Every Device

Once sync is on, a password saved on your laptop is instantly ready to autofill on your phone too, so you're not stuck retyping or hunting for a login every time you switch devices.

A Quick Note on Security

General information, not professional security advice β€” for anything tied to sensitive data, pairing a password manager with two-factor authentication on your important accounts adds a meaningful extra layer of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone else see my saved passwords on a shared computer?

No β€” viewing a saved password in plain text requires re-entering your device's login password, PIN, or fingerprint, so anyone without that cannot see the actual password.

How do I know if I'm reusing the same password on multiple sites?

Running the Password Checkup (security check) inside Password Manager lists every password that's reused across sites or has appeared in a known breach, all in one place.
