If you’re a Google Chrome user, your browser may have memorized various passwords so you don’t have to. Thankfully, you can also view and edit saved passwords in Chrome.

Fortunately, you don’t need elite hacking skills to access or edit your password list. In fact, a few taps or clicks will get the job done. Let’s discuss how to enable password saving and view saved Chrome passwords on desktop and mobile.

Protect your saved Google Chrome passwords

When you save passwords in Chrome, you remove the burden of having to remember them yourself. But you also create a super-sensitive list of your most important login credentials.

Technically, anyone with access to your device and knowledge of your admin password or passcode could view that list.

Even so, saving passwords in Chrome is still a lot smarter than using a sticky note on the side of your monitor.
