Additional Tips for Managing Your Chrome Passwords

Google and Chrome both have a built in password manager. You can manage passwords in any of your Google or Android devices. The feature is certainly convenient to sync and save your passwords across your browsers and devices. While every digital feature regarding passwords is risky, it’s better than using no password manager at all.

What else can you do while you’re on the “Password Manager” page?

Make Use of the Auto Sign-In Feature

If the button is positioned to the left and is white, while the slide appears gray, it means this option is off.

To have that prompt showing your username and password appear whenever you need to log in, simply toggle the button to the right.

It will then turn blue as well as its slide, letting you know you’ve activated the option.

Export Your Passwords

To the right of “Saved Passwords,” you will see an “Add” button. Click on the vertical trio of dots to its right.

Next, a message will pop up on your screen: “Your passwords will be visible to anyone who can see the exported file.”

You will also see two buttons beneath the message with the option “Cancel” or “Export Passwords …”.

If you intend to proceed, simply click the latter button, which will be on the right.

You will receive a prompt to save the entire collection as a spreadsheet.

Go ahead and save.
