Google Chrome has a built-in password manager that saves your online credentials whenever you sign-in to a website using Chrome. Since Chrome is available on all platforms, including iOS and Android phones, you can always have access to your saved passwords.

Simple, go to https://passwords.google.com, sign-in with your Google account and you will quickly find a complete list of credentials that you’ve used using that account in Chrome.

  1. So how does this make my saved Google passwords accessible to Edge for easy sign in loading on any website I go to with Edge? I’m partially in process of converting over, but want all passwords kept in sync on both browsers, so if I add a new one using Edge, how can it get added to Chrome’s password vault with out my doing it manually for each one?
