Saved Passwords

Google Chrome can save your passwords and fill them in when you sign in to a website. This feature is managed through Google Password Manager.

You do not need to remember every password. Chrome can also recommend strong passwords, warn you about some unsafe passwords, and let you manage passwords across your devices when they are saved to your Google Account.

However, one important change has been made since older versions of Chrome. You do not have to be signed in to Chrome to save a password. Chrome can store passwords on your device when you are not signed in.

Here is how you can view, manage, and protect your passwords in Chrome in 2026.

How to View Saved Passwords in Chrome on a Computer

The easiest way is through Google Password Manager.

  • Open Google Chrome on your computer.
  • Click the three dot menu in the top right corner.
  • Select Passwords and Autofill.
  • Click Google Password Manager.
  • You will see the passwords that are available in your password manager.
  • Select the website or account that you want to check.
  • Click the eye icon next to the password.
  • Chrome may ask you to verify your identity with your computer password, PIN, fingerprint, or another supported method.
  • After verification, the password will be shown.

A Faster Way to Open Password Manager

You can also type this address into the Chrome address bar:

chrome://password-manager/passwords

This can save time when you need to check a password.

You can also manage passwords saved to your Google Account by visiting:

passwords.google.com

Google says passwords saved to your Google Account can be managed from Chrome or another web browser.

Do You Need to Sign In to Chrome?

Chrome can save passwords in two ways.

When you are signed in to Chrome, passwords can be saved to your Google Account. This lets you use them on other devices where you are signed in with the same account.

When you are not signed in, Chrome can save passwords locally on your device. Those passwords are not automatically available on your other devices.

So, if you do not see a password at passwords.google.com, check the Chrome profile and device where you originally saved it.

How to Find a Specific Password

If you have many accounts, finding one password can be hard.

Google Password Manager lets you search through your saved entries. Open Password Manager and use the search box to find the website or account you need.

For example, suppose you saved passwords for Gmail, Facebook, Amazon, and your work website. You can search for the site name instead of scrolling through the full list.

This is faster and also minimises the chance of selecting the wrong account.

How to View Saved Passwords on Android

You can also check your passwords from an Android phone.

Open Chrome and select the three dot menu.

Then choose Settings and open Google Password Manager.

Select the account you want to check. Tap the saved entry and verify your identity when asked. You can then view the password.

Google also says that passwords and passkeys saved to your Google Account can be used across devices where you are signed in.

How to Check Passwords on iPhone

On an iPhone or iPad, your password setup can depend on the password manager selected for autofill.

Google says Chrome and Google can be used as the default password manager through the iPhone settings.

You can also manage passwords saved to your Google Account through Google Password Manager.

If your passwords are missing, first check which password manager your iPhone is using. This is a common reason why a password may appear in one place but not another.

What If Chrome Does Not Show Your Password?

View saved passwords chrome

There are lots of possible reasons.

The password may have been saved on another Chrome profile.

It may have been stored only on another device.

You may be checking a different Google Account.

The website may also use a passkey instead of a normal password.

First, check the Chrome profile you are using. Next, open Google Password Manager and confirm the account.

Also remember that being automatically signed in to a website does not always mean that the password is stored in Chrome. A website can keep you signed in through its own session system.

How to Save a New Password

Chrome can offer to save your sign in details when you enter them on a website.

If Chrome does not show the save prompt, Google says you can still save the details by opening the password option near the address bar and selecting Save.

You can also let Chrome create a strong password when you register for a new account.

This is valuable because strong and unique passwords are safer than using the same password on many sites.

How to Check for Weak or Compromised Passwords

One of the most useful features in Google Password Manager is Password Checkup.

Open Chrome, go to Passwords and autofill, select Google Password Manager, and then choose Checkup.

Google says the check can identify passwords that are

  • Exposed in a data breach
  • Weak
  • Used on more than one account

You should change an unsafe password as soon as possible, especially when the same password is used elsewhere.

For example, suppose the same password is used for your shopping account and email account. If that password is exposed, both accounts could be at risk.

Using a unique password for each important account is a much safer approach.

How to Delete a Saved Password

You can remove an individual password from Google Password Manager.

Open Google Password Manager, select the account entry, and choose the delete option.

Google also provides an option to delete all Google Password Manager data from its settings. This should be used with care because deleted password data may no longer be available to you.

Before deleting anything, make sure you still know how to access your important accounts.

What About Passkeys?

Passwords are not the only sign in method used today.

Passkeys are becoming more common and can provide a simpler way to sign in without typing a password.

Google says passkeys can be stored in Google Password Manager and used across devices where your account is available.

So, when you open Password Manager in 2026, you may see both passwords and passkeys.

Tips to Keep Your Accounts Safe

  1. Use a different password for every important account.
  2. Let Chrome create strong passwords when possible.
  3. Turn on two step verification for important accounts.
  4. Check Password Checkup from time to time.
  5. Keep Chrome and your operating system updated.
  6. Protect your device with a PIN, password, or biometric lock.
  7. Do not share your passwords through chat, email, or social media.

Google also recommends using strong and unique passwords and checking for weak, exposed, or reused passwords.
