Add, Edit, and Manage Saved Passwords in Chrome on Computer

Chrome saves every login in Google Password Manager, and an old username or a password you changed on the site can leave a saved entry filling in the wrong details.

Open the manager from the Chrome menu, add or update the entry, then check the sync and save-prompt settings if new logins stop appearing.

In this guide, I have covered:

Add, Edit, and Manage Chrome Passwords From One Place

Chrome remembers your logins, and Google Password Manager is the single screen where they live. Every entry you add, reveal, edit, or delete happens there, not in the main Settings page.

The manager is two clicks from the Chrome menu. Once you are inside, everything else here works from that same list.

Open Google Password Manager in Chrome

You should not have to hunt through the full Settings page to reach a saved login. In current Chrome for computer, the password tools sit in the main menu, two clicks from any tab.

1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.
2. Click the menu in the top-right corner.
3. Choose Passwords and autofill.
4. Choose Google Password Manager.

You’ll know it worked when the saved password list fills the page. From there, pick the entry you need.

On older Chrome builds, open Settings > Autofill and passwords > Passwords. Some versions use Auto-fill for the older section name.

Save a New Password in Chrome

Signing in to a site is the fastest way to add a login, as long as Chrome offers to save it. If no prompt appears, the setting that controls it is probably switched off.

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select its Settings section.
3. Turn on Offer to save passwords and passkeys.
4. Open the website’s sign-in page.
5. Enter your username and password, then submit the sign-in form.
6. When Chrome displays the save prompt, select Save.
   

The site should now appear under Saved passwords. On older Chrome builds, the setting is labeled Offer to save passwords.

Mobile prompts behave differently. On an Android phone, follow Save, Edit, and Manage Passwords in Chrome on Android instead of the desktop steps above.

Add a Password Manually

Sometimes Chrome skips a login and never asks to save it. Manual entry gets that credential into the manager without waiting for a prompt that may not come.

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select Add beside Passwords.
3. Enter the website address, username, and password.
4. Select Save.

The new entry should show up in the saved password list, ready for autofill the next time you visit that site.

View a Saved Password in Chrome

A saved password belongs to the Chrome profile where it was added, so a different profile shows a different list. If you cannot remember a login, preview the stored credential instead of resetting the account.

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select the Passwords tab.
3. Find the saved website entry.
4. Select Preview (the eye icon) next to the entry.
5. Complete the device or Google account verification if Chrome asks for it.

After verification, the stored password appears in the preview panel.

TIP: Preview only reveals the password. Nothing changes until you open Edit and save a new one.

Edit a Saved Password in Chrome

Change the password on the website first, then update Chrome’s copy so both versions match. If only the username changed, edit that field and leave the password alone.

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select the Passwords tab.
3. Find the saved entry for the website.
4. Open the menu beside the entry.
5. Select Edit.
6. Update the username, password, or both.
7. Select Save.

The entry should show the new details. With password sync on, Chrome applies the change to your other signed-in devices.

The same edit works on a phone. Add, Edit, and Manage Passwords in Chrome on iPhone & iPad covers the iOS screens, where the menu looks a little different.

Delete a Saved Password in Chrome

An old login you no longer use is clutter, and a duplicate entry can fill the wrong password. Remove the entry when the account is gone or the saved details are out of date.

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select the Passwords tab.
3. Find the saved entry for the website.
4. Open the menu beside the entry.
5. Choose Delete password.
6. Confirm by selecting Delete.

The site should disappear from Saved passwords. If password sync is on for the same Google account, the deletion reaches your other devices too.

Some older Chrome builds label the command Remove. The current manager uses Delete.

Manage Password Sync and Save Prompts

By default, Chrome keeps passwords with the current profile on this computer. Sync is what carries them to your phone, tablet, or another machine.

Turn password sync on or off

1. Click the Chrome profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Sign in to the Google account that should own the synced passwords, if needed.
3. Select You and Google.
4. Select Sync and Google services.
5. Select Manage what you sync.
6. Turn Passwords on or off.

The Passwords toggle now shows whether new logins and changes will sync with that Google account.

Stop Chrome from offering to save new passwords

1. Open Google Password Manager.
2. Select its Settings section.
3. Turn off Offer to save passwords and passkeys.

Chrome keeps filling the passwords you already saved, but it stops asking about new ones.
