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.
