Google Chrome does an excellent job of remembering your identities and passwords. What happens, however, if you want to log in to a particular website from another device but can’t recall your password and it isn’t loading the information for you? You can quickly access a list of all saved passwords by browsing Chrome settings, then manually typing it in.
This article explains how to locate and examine your Google Chrome Passwords in detail. Remember that this procedure will only reveal the passwords you have saved in Chrome. You’ll also learn useful tips such as exporting your stored passwords and removing sites from your “Never Saved” list. Let’s get this party underway.
How to View Google Chrome Saved Passwords on Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, and Linux
Because you are viewing your credentials in the Chrome browser, the procedure is the same for all desktop/laptop operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS (Chromebook), and so on. The security warning is the sole exception. Here’s how to go about it.
- Start “Google Chrome” on your computer or laptop, then select the “vertical ellipsis” (Menu) in the upper right-hand corner of the screen or your “profile icon.”
- Select the “Settings” choice now. You can also get to the Settings tab by typing “chrome://settings” into Chrome’s address bar.
- Click on “Autofill” on the left.
- Select “Passwords.”
- You’ll see a list of all website passwords you previously allowed Chrome to save. To reveal a specific password, click on the “eye” icon.
- On non-Windows devices, the “Security” window will prompt you to input your “Windows account PIN” or your Google “username/password.” Mac, Chrome OS, and Linux all ask for the operating system’s “username and password.”
- Your password for the selected website gets displayed. To hide it, click on the “eye” icon once more.
How to View Your Google Chrome Saved Passwords on Android and iOS
Viewing saved Google Chrome passwords on your Android or iOS smartphone is a simple procedure that works on both operating systems.
- Launch the “Chrome app” on your mobile device.
- Tap the “vertical ellipsis” (three-dot menu symbol) in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (Android) or the “horizontal ellipsis” in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. (iOS).
- Choose the “Settings” option.
- Then, select “Passwords.”
- You’ll see a list of all the passwords you’ve ever stored for websites. Select the website from the list to view a particular password.
- To view the password, tap on the “eye” icon.
- A security screen for Android or iPhone displays, asking for your “OS PIN” or “password/passcode.” After that, you’ll be taken back to the previous page, but this time the website’s password will be displayed.
- If desired, tap the “eye” icon again to conceal the password, but it automatically hides when closed. To return to the passcode list, tap “Done” (Android) or “Back” (iOS).
How to Save Passwords to Chrome using Windows, Mac, or Linux
- When you enter a new password on a particular website, Chrome will prompt you to save it unless it is in the “Never Save” list. To add it to Password Manager, click “Save.” If it does not show, proceed to “Step 3.”
- If you have multiple passwords for a particular page and want to save a new one, click on the “email field” and enter the email/username you want to use.
- If you don’t see a pop-up asking you to save your password, the feature is most likely disabled. Open a fresh “Chrome” tab on your computer or mobile device.
- Click on your “profile icon” in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
- Select the “key icon.”
- Turn on “Offer to save passwords.”
Chrome will now save passwords to your Google account.
How to Save Passwords to Chrome using Android or iOS/iPhone
- Launch “Google Chrome” and tap on your “profile icon” in the upper-right section.
- Select “Passwords” from the “Basics” section on Android or within the third group of settings on iPhone.
- Turn “Save passwords” on.
Within Android’s “Passwords” Settings, you can also enable Chrome’s “Auto Sign-In” feature. On iOS, it can be found in “Settings -> Passwords -> Autofill Passwords -> Chrome.” However, this option is not recommended, primarily because it creates problems when you have multiple accounts for the same website and use third-party password managers.
Furthermore, you can choose a specific account password, but “Auto Sign-In” resets the credentials to the preset password and logs you in, making it difficult to resolve. To log in the way you want to for that website, you must disable auto sign-in (and potentially Chrome Password Manager).
How to Edit Saved Passwords in Chrome on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs
Perhaps you changed your password for a particular website in another browser and want to update it in Chrome. You can change your password in a few simple steps.
- Launch “Chrome” on your preferred device.

- Click on the “three vertical dots” next to the password you want to edit and select “Edit password.”
- Your computer or mobile device will ask you to insert your usual authentication method.
- Edit the password and hit “Save” to finish.
How to Edit Saved Passwords in Chrome on Android or iOS/iPhone
There are two kinds of saved passwords (and autologin features) that can be edited using Chrome Password Manager on Android or iPhone: websites and apps. Website login credentials, such as disney.com, finish with “.com,” whereas apps, such as Disney+, appear by name. As a result, in order for autologin to function, you must edit the appropriate entry.
Editing Saved Chrome Passwords using Chrome Password Manager (Android/iPhone)
On mobile, Chrome Password Manager gets labeled as Passwords, but the functionality is the same as a PC browser.

- Tap on “Passwords.”
- Scroll down and tap on the website you want to edit.
- Select the “Password” entry, edit it, then tap on “Done.”

This option is completely understandable if you are visiting a website that contains sensitive information. What if you abruptly decide to remove that website’s password from the “Never Saved” list so you can save it? Fortunately, doing so is a simple job.
