Google has its password manager, which is integrated into the Chrome browser. It automatically helps save passwords and retrieve them when needed. These passwords are automatically synced across the devices and stored in the cloud with a Google account. One can easily manage these passwords from the Chrome browser.
The Google Password Manager is a fantastic tool that automatically stores the username and password of the online website. All you need is to allow Chrome to store the password. It also syncs the saved password across the devices signed in with the same Google account.
It also helps generate a solid alphanumeric password and store it when creating an online account on any website. Even this password is synced on all the Chrome signed-in devices.
The password is securely stored in the Google Password Manager portal, where you can also view the password online. The online portal helps in editing the username and password.
