How to find your saved passwords in Chrome

One of the easiest ways to store your passwords and passkeys is within your browser—but you may not give much thought to how to find them within Chrome, since it’ll autofill your credentials whenever you need to log into a site.

If you need to look up a particular password, it takes just a few quick clicks to access them directly. Here’s how to locate them—and how to access all the different settings related to them. 

(Spoiler: You may need to use both methods to fully configure Google’s password storage to your liking).

Method 1: Look within Chrome

You have a couple of ways to get to your passwords within Chrome. On a PC, the fastest method is entering chrome://password-manager/passwords into the address bar of your browser tab. 

If for some reason that doesn’t work, click on the three-dot menu in the upper right of the screen, then choose Settings > Autofill & Passwords > Google Password Manager. 

On mobile devices, look for the three-dot menu at the bottom of the screen, then head to Settings > Google Password Manager (Android) or straight to Google Password Manager (iOS).

Tip: For extra protection on PC, head to the settings and turn on use of Windows Hello as extra defense against unauthorized access to your passwords.

Method 2: Visit the Google Password Manager site

Chrome isn’t the only place you can find passwords saved to your Google account. You can also navigate to https://passwords.google.com/ to access them. 

This alternative method is useful if you don’t use Chrome often, might be switching soon due to coming incompatibility with ad-blockers), or don’t quite like the browser interface.

You can also access one setting not found within Chrome—Password Alerts, which notify you if any saved passwords are found circulating online (and thus compromised). It’s enabled by default, which most people should leave as-is, but on the off-chance you need to turn it off, you’ll find it here.
