How to Use Google Password Manager

Google Password Manager is free and built into Chrome and Android — it saves and fills in passwords automatically so you never have to remember them.

In this guide (5 steps):

1.Make sure you are signed into Chrome
2.Save a password the next time you log in
3.Use auto-fill when returning to a site
4.Let Google suggest strong passwords for new accounts
5.Run a Password Checkup

Make sure you are signed into Chrome

~15s

Open Chrome and click your profile icon (top right). If you are signed in, your name or email appears. If not, click "Sign in to Chrome" and sign in with your Google account.

Save a password the next time you log in

~18s

The next time you log into a website, Chrome shows a "Save password" prompt at the top of the screen. Click "Save." The password is now stored in Google Password Manager.

Quick Tip

If you dismissed the save prompt in the past, you can manually add passwords at passwords.google.com → Add.

Use auto-fill when returning to a site

~15s

When you visit a saved site and click the username field, Chrome automatically shows your saved credentials. Click your username and Chrome fills in both your username and password.

Let Google suggest strong passwords for new accounts

~15s

When creating a new account on any website, click the password field → "Suggest strong password." Chrome generates a long, random password and saves it automatically. You never need to remember it.

Run a Password Checkup

~21s

Go to passwords.google.com → "Check passwords." Google checks all your saved passwords against known data breach databases and shows which ones are compromised, reused, or weak. Fix the flagged ones first.

Warning

Use a strong, unique password for your Google account itself — it is the master key to all your other saved passwords. Enable two-step verification on your Google account as an added layer of protection.

Google Password Manager is a free, built-in tool that saves your website passwords and automatically fills them in when you return to those sites. If you use Google Chrome on a computer or an Android phone, you likely already have access to it.

When you log into a website for the first time and Chrome offers to "Save password?" — that is Google Password Manager at work. The saved password is stored encrypted in your Google account and syncs to any device where you are signed into Chrome.

Why use a password manager?

The safest approach to passwords is using a long, random, unique password for every website. Without a password manager, this is impractical — no one can memorize dozens of random passwords. Password managers generate, store, and fill in these passwords for you.

Key features

: - Auto-fill: When you visit a saved site, Chrome fills in your username and password automatically (or with one tap on mobile) - Password generator: When creating a new account, Chrome suggests a strong random password - Password checkup: Google checks your saved passwords against known data breaches and alerts you if any need to be changed - Cross-device sync: Passwords saved on your phone appear on your computer and vice versa

To view all your saved passwords, go to passwords.google.com or tap your Chrome profile → Google Password Manager.
