How to View Saved Passwords on Chrome

Remembering passwords is hard. Chances are, you’ve taken Chrome up on its offer to remember them for you. However, you may not know how many passwords Chrome has saved or how to delete them if you’re switching to a dedicated password manager.

In this guide, you’ll learn where to find your saved passwords in Chrome and how to view, delete, edit, and export them. 

How to View Saved Passwords on Chrome

#1. Navigate to Google Password Manager

1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot symbol in the top right
2. Hover on Passwords and Autofill
3. Click Google Password Manager

#2. View and Edit Saved Passwords

In the Passwords tab, you'll see a list of all your passwords. 

• Click a password to view it
• You may be required to unlock your device to view the password
• Click Edit to modify the password

#3. View Settings for Google Password Manager

On this screen, you’re presented with several important options including:

• Choose whether Chrome offers to save your passwords
• Export/Import passwords

How to Change a Saved Password in Chrome

1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot symbol in the top right
2. Hover on Passwords and Autofill
3. Click Google Password Manager
4. In the Passwords tab, click the password you wish to edit and click the Edit button

Make sure any changes you make to the password match the actual password for the account. For example, changing your Netflix password here does not automatically update your actual Netflix password. 

Tips for Selecting a Secure Password

• Use a password generator to create a 14+ character password that includes a mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. 
• If you create a password or passphrase for the purpose of remembering it, don’t use personal identifying information.

 

Should You Use Chrome's Password Manager?

If Chrome is the only browser you use across all your devices, and you never need to share your passwords with family or colleagues, then Chrome’s native password saver is a solid option. 

Chrome has made strides to improve its security, such as with the option to enable on-device encryption. 

However, if you use another browser such as Safari, need to share passwords, or require more control over your passwords, you’ll want a dedicated password manager.

Another Option to Consider: TeamPassword

If you want a dedicated tool for storing and organizing passwords, a standalone password manager like TeamPassword is worth considering alongside Chrome's built-in features. It stores your passwords behind a separate "master" password, so they aren't tied to your Google account or browser session, and it can automatically lock after a set period of inactivity.

You can generate and customize strong passwords that work across different browsers and devices, and TeamPassword's approach to security is designed to keep your credentials protected even if a device is lost or stolen.

There's a trade-off to weigh: a dedicated manager can be slightly less seamless than Chrome's native autofill, but it gives you more control over how passwords are stored, shared, and separated from your browser. TeamPassword's Chrome extension autofills most sites and shows your record details from a dropdown, so you don't have to open a separate page.

Thinking About Making the Switch?

You've learned how Chrome's password manager works and how to decide whether it still fits your needs. If you'd like to try a dedicated manager, moving your existing passwords over is straightforward.

You can bring your saved logins into TeamPassword by exporting them to a CSV and importing that file. These resources walk through the process:

If you also need to share passwords with a team, you can explore the platform with a 14-day free trial and decide for yourself whether it's the right fit.

Chrome Saved Passwords FAQs

Why Can't I See My Saved Passwords in Chrome?

If you can’t see any saved passwords following the above steps, check if you’re signed into the correct Google account. 

• Click on the circular icon at the top right of your browser. This might be your profile picture or a generic picture. 
• If the email it shows is not the one you want to be signed into, you can Add another account or Sign out of all accounts.

 

You might not be signed in at all! 

Also, check if “Offer to save passwords” is toggled on. If not, it might be the case that Chrome simply hasn’t been saving your passwords.

1. Open Chrome
2. Click the three-dot symbol > Passwords and Autofill > Google Password Manager
