Google password manager and I’ll show you without any stress how to use your

What is Google Password Manager?
Google
Password manager is a program from Google that stores your username and
password. Google has an online service that gives you access to all your stored
usernames and passwords from anywhere, any-time instantly. You’ll login automatically without remembering or typing the password to the websites you
wish.
Besides,
it has more other features like automatic strong passwords generation, Android
deep integration etc.
How to Use Google Password Manager
What
you have to do is, sign in to chrome browser with your existing Google account
in an order to get access to Google password manager. So go to settings, you can do this by
clicking chrome menu icon on upper right corner of your Chrome window, and then
click “Sign in to Chrome”.
Enter
your corresponding email id and password of your Google account.
Well
done..! You have successfully signed in into your Google chrome browser
Now
make sure that Chrome is set to sync passwords or not by clicking “Advanced
sync settings”. (Note: some of the Google features will not be available if you
chose second encryption option sync pass-phrase. Ex: you won’t be seeing your
saved password on password manager, also the smart lock will not work for
android and Google won’t show you suggestions resulting on your browsing
activity.)
You
can later go to the advance settings then under password you can manage
password and view your entire password associated with your every single
account. Passwords are hidden with asterisks you can easily revealed them by
clicking the corresponding eye icon. You’re no free to remove your saved
password but there’s no option to edit password.
HOW TO HIDE YOUR
PASSWORDS
The one question came to my mind is, why should I hide my
password..? The reason why, if someone has access to main Google account password,
then entire bundle of passwords get accessed by them with Google password
website.
So for that you what you've to do is, go to settings of Google
chrome- Advanced sync settings. Now go to encryption option and encrypt all
synced data with your own sync pass-phrase.
Enter a pass-phrase and save setting, you've done. After a moment your
passwords will no longer be available through the Google Passwords website.
If you’re a moody fellow
and you change your mood latter on, then simply reset to default settings to
disable pass-phrase.
