You can easily create and use strong and unique passwords or passkeys for all your online accounts with Google Password Manager. You can also save, manage and protect passwords and passkeys in your Google Account or on your device.
You can use Google Password Manager to:
- Improve online security: Protect your sign-in info with built-in security features.
- Create and save passwords: Create strong and unique passwords, and save them to your Google Account so that you don't have to remember them.
- Create and save passkeys: Create and save passkeys to your Google Account. Passkeys are safer and easier to use than passwords.
- Autofill passwords: Automatically fill in passwords on sites and apps.
You can start using Google Password Manager to securely store, manage, and autofill your passwords across devices.
To begin, sign in to your Google Account on a browser like Google Chrome or on your mobile device. This allows your passwords to sync and be available wherever you use your account.
Next, enable password saving. In Chrome, go to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Passwords, then turn on Offer to save passwords and Auto sign-in.
When you log in to a website, Chrome will prompt you to save your password. Click Save, and it will be stored securely in Google Password Manager.
You can view and manage your saved passwords anytime. Go to Chrome Settings > Passwords, or visit the Google Password Manager website. Here, you can search for accounts, view details, edit credentials, or delete entries.
Google Password Manager also helps you create strong passwords. When signing up for a new account, Chrome can suggest a secure password and save it automatically.
Another important feature is Password Checkup. This tool scans your saved passwords and alerts you if any are weak, reused, or exposed in known data breaches, helping you take action quickly.
For security, accessing saved passwords may require authentication such as your device password, fingerprint, or face recognition.
In summary, getting started with Google Password Manager involves signing in, enabling password saving, and letting Chrome securely store and autofill your credentials for easier and safer browsing.
