It’s that master password that you’ll need to secure absolutely. (Consider eliminating some of these.) To access them, you’ll first need to type in your Google account password. Fortunately, all of your passwords should still be accessible via, where you can search for the site name and reveal each individual password, then type it in.ĭo so, though, and you’ll probably be amazed at the number of passwords you stored within Chrome for convenience’s sake.

On Android, Google says a new 'Touch-to-Login' feature will let users enter their credentials via an overlay at the bottom of the screen "to make logging in even quicker." The search giant also said it's working to unify the design of the password manager between Chrome and Android with "a simplified and unified management experience" and says this includes a feature that will automatically group multiple passwords used on the same site. Previously, there had been signs of this feature on Chrome on desktop, but now Google has said it's making it available across "all platforms." American tech giant Google has recently announced that it has updated its built-in password manager for Chrome and Android as it attempts to position it as an alternative to standalone services offered by 1Password and Bitwarden.Īccording to The Verge, the most significant ability will be to manually add passwords to the service, rather than simply relying on Chrome's offer to save credentials when you use them.
