GOOGLE ACCOUNT
Easy-to-use settings and controls
The Google Account helps you manage your info, privacy, and security to make Google work better for you across different products. Here you can find key transparency and control tools, like My Activity, which give you transparency over data collected from your activity across Google services.
You also find easy-to-use tools like the Privacy Checkup and the Security Checkup, which guide you through the most important privacy and security options. Controls like Activity Controls and Ad Settings allow you to decide what data is used to personalise your experience, so all of Google can work better for you.
PASSWORD MANAGER
A safer way to manage your passwords
Our Password Manager, built directly into Chrome, Android and Chrome on iOS, is a safer way to protect all your accounts online. Your saved passwords are protected 24/7 by Google’s automated defenses and we’ll tell you if we find a site or app you’ve saved a password for has been compromised. Also, when signing up for a new site or app, Password Manager can automatically generate a unique complex password and at your next login it’s auto-filled for you.
