Short answer: Chrome’s built-in password manager is called Google Password Manager. On a computer, open the Chrome menu (three dots, top right) and select Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager. From there you can edit, delete, add and share passwords, and the Settings tab on the left turns saving on or off. Every step on this page follows Google’s help on managing passwords in Chrome.
You can also open it by pasting this into the address bar: chrome://password-manager
Where Chrome keeps your passwords
- Signed in to Chrome: passwords are saved to your Google Account, so you can use them on your other devices where you sign in to Chrome. You can also manage them in any browser at passwords.google.com.
- Not signed in: passwords are stored only on that device. Google says you can import them into your Google Account later.
Edit or delete a saved password
- Open Google Password Manager (three-dot menu > Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager).
- Under Passwords, select the site.
- To change it, select Edit, make your change and select Save. To remove it, select Delete.
If you only need to look at a password, see how to view saved passwords.
Add a password yourself
- Open Google Password Manager.
- Select Add.
- Enter the website, username and password, then select Save.
To keep extra details with a login, such as a PIN hint or account number, open the password, select Edit and type a note. Google says notes get the same protection as the password.
Share a password with family
You can share a copy of a saved password only with members of your Google family group. Open the password, select Share, choose the family members, then select Share and Done. The password is saved to their Google Account and fills in for them too.
Settings worth knowing
Open Google Password Manager and select Settings on the left. There you can turn these on or off:
- Offer to save passwords and passkeys: on by default. Turn it off if you use a different password manager and don’t want two save prompts. Sites you told Chrome never to save are listed under Declined sites and apps, where you can remove them.
- Sign in automatically: signs you in to sites and apps where you’ve saved your login, without asking you to confirm it first.
- Use Windows Hello when filling passwords (Windows) or Use your screen lock when filling passwords (Mac): asks you to confirm it’s you, for example with your fingerprint, before Chrome fills in a password. Google says it also applies when you show, copy or edit a password. It is off by default.
- Export passwords and Import passwords: move passwords out of or into Chrome. See export and import.
Check for leaked or weak passwords
In Google Password Manager, select Checkup on the left. Chrome lists any saved password that was exposed in a data breach and any that is weak and easy to guess. Our Password Checkup guide explains what to do with the results.
Delete everything
Settings > Delete all Google Password Manager data > Delete data removes all your saved passwords and passkeys from Google Password Manager. Export your passwords first if you might want them back.
On Android, iPhone and iPad
- Android: three-dot menu > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Google Password Manager. Tap a password to show, edit, delete or share it. The settings, including Offer to save passwords, are under Settings at the bottom right (Google’s Android help).
- iPhone and iPad: three-dot menu > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Password Manager. Tap a password to show, edit or share it. Settings, including Offer to Save Passwords, are at the bottom left (Google’s iPhone and iPad help).
