Google Password Manager is a great tool for managing your passwords on Android. It’s easy to use and has a lot of features, so you can keep your passwords safe and secure. To use Google Password Manager on Android, first open the app and sign in with your Google account. Then, select the type of password manager you want to use: Google Authenticator or Duo. Next, choose a location for your password manager: either on your phone or in the cloud. You can also set up reminders for when you need to remember a password. Once you’ve set up your password manager, it’s time to create and manage your passwords! To create a new password, just enter the desired text or number into the fields below and click OK. You can also add multiple passwords if you want. When you’re finished creating your new password, click OK again to save it. You can now access your newpasswordmanager from any device that has Google Password Manager installed.
While we don’t necessarily recommend everyone use their browser’s password manager, it’s better than nothing. Plus, Google’s password manager has gotten a lot better over the years. If you use it in Google Chrome on your computer, you should use it on Android, too. We’ll show you how.

Before we get started, we’ll need to make sure you have Google’s password manager set as your “Autofill” service on your Android device. This will ensure that the passwords you save will automatically generate when you need to log in to an app or website.
Swipe down once or twice (depending on your phone) from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon to open the Settings.
Now select whichever service is listed under “Autofill Service.” It may already be “Google.”
Choose “Google” from the list if it’s not already selected.
Next, go back to the previous “Passwords & Accounts” screen. You’ll see “Google” listed under “Passwords.” Tap it.
This is the Google Password Manager. You can search through your saved passwords to edit the details or delete outdated ones. You’ll need to enter your security method to access any of the passwords.
At the top of the screen, you’ll see the “Password Checkup” tool. You can run this to see if any of your passwords should be improved for security.
Lastly, we’ll take a peek at the settings. Tap the gear icon in the top right corner.
Here’s where you can decide if you want Google to offer to save passwords when you enter them in apps and websites in Chrome. You can choose to automatically sign in to websites and get alerts when your passwords have been compromised.
And if you want to use the Password Manager a lot, you can add a shortcut to the home screen.
That’s all there is to the Google Password Manager. It’s not the best or most secure password manager out there, but it’s probably the easiest to use if you’re a Chrome and Android user.
