If you enter a new password on a site, Chrome will ask to save it. To accept, click Save.

  • If there are multiple passwords on the page, click the Down arrow Down Arrow. Choose the password you want saved.
  • If your username is blank or incorrect, click the text box next to “Username.” Enter the username you want saved.
  • If you want to save a different password, click the text box next to “Password.” Enter the password you want saved.

Sign in with a saved password

If you saved your password on a previous visit to a website, Chrome can help you sign in.

  1. On your computer, go to a site you’ve visited before.
  2. Go to the site’s sign-in form.
    • If you’ve saved a single username and password for the site: Chrome will fill in the sign-in form automatically.
    • If you’ve saved more than one username and password: Select the username field and choose the sign-in info you want to use.

Check or change your passwords

You may get an alert from Chrome if you use a password and username combination that has been compromised in a data leak on a third party website or app. Compromised password and username combinations are unsafe because they’ve been published online.

We recommend that you change any compromised passwords as soon as you can. You can follow the instructions in Chrome to change your password on the site where you’ve used that password, and check your saved passwords for any other site the password may be saved on.

Chrome makes sure that your passwords and username are protected so they can’t be read by Google.

Important: You must be signed-in to Chrome to get these notifications.

To start or stop getting these notifications:

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
  3. Under “People,” click Sync and Google services.
  4. Under “Other Google services,” click “Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data breach” on or off.

Important: This feature is only available if you have turned “Safe Browsing” on.

How Chrome saves and syncs passwords

How Chrome saves your passwords depends on whether you want to store and use them across devices. When synced, passwords can be used on Chrome on all your devices, and across some apps on your Android devices.

When sync is turned on for passwords in Chrome, your passwords are saved to your Google Account.

Otherwise, your passwords are only stored on Chrome on your computer.
