To access your passwords in Chrome, you need to save them in your browser and sign in to your Google Account. Both options are available in the browser settings:

Click on the three dots (top right).
Select Settings.
Under You and Google you can sign in (if you haven’t already) and choose whether to sync passwords with this computer.
Under Autofill and passwordsto choose Google Password Manager.
Select Settings to tell Chrome whether to offer to save passwords in this browser and to autofill them when necessary.

If at least some of these features are enabled (you save your passwords or sync them from another location), you can find your passwords on the same password manager screen: Autofill and passwords then Google Password Manager in the settings (you can also type “chrome://password-manager/passwords” in the address bar).

Scroll through the list or use the search box above to find your password.
Select the name of any site to view more details.
You’ll be asked to verify your identity—usually with a Google password, or with biometrics if you’re set access key.
Click the eye icon in the password field to see the password.
Use the copy icon (two rectangles) to copy the password to the clipboard.

You will see that you have several options to Edit, Removeor Share it information that Chrome stores (obviously, be careful with the last one). You can also choose audit on the left to have Chrome run a check on your login credentials, warning you about passwords that are easy to crack or that you’ve used more than once.

Select Settings left to return to the settings screen mentioned earlier. Other options here cover importing and exporting passwords, as well as managing the list of sites for which you’ve told Chrome you don’t want to save passwords.

If you don’t want to go the route described above, you can find your saved passwords online in Chrome or any other browser. This is a convenient option, for example, if you use someone else’s computer.

On the Internet on a computer or mobile device, you can go to “https://passwords.google.com/” to find Google’s password manager. Once you’re signed in, it’s pretty much the same as in Chrome: you can edit and delete passwords, but you can’t share them. You can also run a scan for passwords that need to be changed.

If you are using an Android device, go to the main settings screen and select Google and Password manager to go to the same list of saved passwords. All the usual features are here, too: tap a website name to see username and password information, as well as buttons to edit, delete, and share the entry.
