Google is updating Google Chrome’s built-in password manager on both Android and desktops, such as Windows, for example.
Users of the service can manually add passwords to the collection of saved passwords. So you no longer have to wait for Chrome to save the password for you.
Hints to this functionality had already been found earlier. But Google has now officially announced that it will be coming to all platforms.
Unified design for the manager
In addition, the search and advertising giant announces that the password manager of Google Chrome will have a unified design on desktop and Android. Android is the operating system that runs on many smartphones and tablets.
The new design also includes an option that allows you to group passwords from the same website. Furthermore, Android users get access to an easier login screen, with which Chrome automatically fills in the information for someone.
It is also the case that Google is investing more in checking your passwords, so that you know when certain data has been leaked. In addition, the browser will support passwordless login; Apple, among others, is already working on this for the Safari browser.
Finally, users can put a shortcut to the password manager on the home screen of an Android device.
