Google Password Manager
Password and passkey manager built into Chrome and Android
What is Google Password Manager?
Google Password Manager saves passwords and passkeys to a Google Account and fills them in through Chrome on any platform and in Android apps. It suggests strong passwords, checks saved ones for security issues with Password Checkup and can be managed from passwords.google.com. On iPhone and iPad it works by choosing Chrome as the AutoFill provider.
Google Password Manager is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- People who already use Chrome or Android and do not want to install anything
- Anyone who wants a no-cost password manager tied to their Google Account
- Users starting to replace passwords with passkeys
Worth knowing
- There is no standalone desktop app: on a computer, passwords are filled in Chrome or viewed at passwords.google.com.
- On iPhone and iPad it depends on Chrome being set as the AutoFill provider in the device's settings.
- With standard encryption Google holds the key to saved passwords. On-device encryption is optional and cannot be removed once set up.
- If you are signed out of Chrome, saved passwords stay on that device and are not available on your other devices.
Key features
- Save and autofill in Chrome and Android
- Chrome offers to save a password when you enter one and fills it in on every device where you are signed in. On Android it fills passwords in apps once Google is the autofill service.
- Passkeys
- Creates and saves passkeys to your Google Account, and can automatically create a passkey when you sign in with a password that is already saved.
- Password Checkup
- Identifies security issues with saved passwords, notifies you when one turns up in a data breach and helps you change it.
- Strong password suggestions
- Suggests strong, unique passwords for new accounts and saves them to your Google Account so you do not have to remember them.
- On-device encryption
- An optional setting that locks passwords and passkeys with a key only you hold, unlocked with your Google password or an eligible device's screen lock.
- Import and export
- Imports passwords from another manager as a CSV file at passwords.google.com, and exports them from Chrome, Android or the same site.
