What Is The Chrome Password Manager And How To Use It Efficiently?

In today’s techno-enabled digital world, it sounds strange to memorize all the passwords, contact, and login details. People are no longer in the habit of remembering things, hence they rely on either notepad or autofill for social media passwords, user login details, and internet banking passwords and other online payment details. And, it scales up a level harder when you juggle so much on the internet across multiple websites. It is slightly hard to maintain all the passwords, user details, and other details in mind until you become Carl Gauss or Arya Bhatt.

If you’ve been fed up with tracking your passwords and login credentials, Google Chrome’s new feature can assist you to some extent. It recently launched a password tracking tool, namely ‘Chrome Password Manager’ whose work basically is to keep your passwords on your fingertips. 

Just like autofill in Apple’s Safari browser, this one in your chrome browser can track & store the login details you use to access a website, social media account or even your online banking passwords to enable you to sign in with one master password for all the websites you access through Google Chrome browser. The chrome Password Manager is an advanced tool that tracks your login details and passwords for easier & faster login in the future. Also, it generates random passwords for you, which is strong and securely stored in your Google account. However, it somehow prevents you from picking up the same password for all the websites, which is, of course, a security breach in this cyber world. 
 
The Google Chrome Password Manager is not as effective as other password manager apps like Lastpass or Dashlane, but it’s safe & secure as it manages your login details across multiple devices you login using the same Google account. Here’s How to set up and use Chrome Password Manager efficiently. Learn to maintain your login credentials and passwords in one go.

• You will be redirected to a page where you can toggle on or off to enable Chrome Password Manager to save passwords and autofill when you access the websites.
