Hey everyone, I wanted to share some tips on how to manage your saved passwords in Chrome. You can update or edit them using either the Google Password Manager website or directly through the Chrome browser itself. Let’s take a look.

Method 1: Using Google Password Manager Website

The Google Password Manager website is a great way to access and modify your saved passwords from any device. It’s a central place to manage all your passwords and is really convenient.

1. First, head over to passwords.google.com and log in to your Google account.

2. Find the website you want to edit or update from the list, and then click it.
   

   

3. Click on the ‘Edit’ option to make any changes to the username or password.
   

   

4. To see the current password, click the ‘eye’ icon. After that, you can change the username or password.
   

   

5. Once you’re done making the changes, click ‘Save’ to apply them.
   

   

Method 2: Editing Passwords Directly in Chrome

You can also manage your saved passwords directly through Chrome’s built-in password manager if that’s more your style.

1. Open Chrome, click the three dots (kebab menu) at the top right, and select ‘Settings’.
   

   

2. In settings, click on ‘You and Google’ on the left sidebar.
   

   

3. Under ‘Autofill’, click on ‘Passwords’ to see your saved passwords.
   

   

4. Find the website you want to modify, and then click the three dots next to it.
   

   

5. Click on ‘Edit password’ from the menu.
   

   

6. You might need to enter your computer’s user account password to continue.
   

   

7. Click the ‘eye’ icon next to the password field to view and edit it, then make the necessary changes.
   

   

8. Finally, click ‘Save’ to apply your changes.

Extra Tips for Managing Passwords

Here are a few more tips to get the most out of Chrome’s password management.

Check Password Security

Google can help you check your saved passwords for any weak or compromised ones and give you recommendations to make them stronger.

1. Go to ‘You and Google’ in Chrome settings.
   

   

2. Click on ‘Check passwords’ to start the security check.
   

   

3. Any issues will be listed, just click the arrow to see details and the steps to fix them.
   

   

Enable Auto Sign-in

With auto sign-in, Chrome will automatically log you into websites where you have saved your credentials which can speed up the login process. This is currently only available in Chrome.

1. Go to ‘You and Google’ in Chrome’s settings.

2. Turn on ‘Auto Sign-in’.
   

   

Import or Export Passwords

You can import or export your saved passwords using the Google Password Manager website, and it supports CSV files for importing. Just keep in mind, that importing and exporting is only available through the Google Password Manager website.

1. Go to passwords.google.com and log in.

2. Click the ‘Settings’ gear icon at the top.
   

   

3. Then, select ‘Export passwords’ or ‘Import passwords’ as needed, and then follow the steps.
   

   

Copy Passwords Securely

If you need to log in on a computer you don’t usually use, you can use the password manager to copy the password directly, instead of typing it on a potentially unsafe device.

1. Access Google Password Manager at passwords.google.com and sign in.

2. Select the website where you need the password.
   

   

3. Click the ‘copy’ icon next to the password or username to copy it to your clipboard and paste it where you need to.
