It then stores and syncs them to your Google account as part of the Smart Lock feature. This is why you should use two-factor authentication on your browser account if you’re going to use its password manager and sync them to all devices. Google Chrome offers to save passwords for all your online accounts. This means they’re stored in the cloud and, though encrypted, if someone manages to hack into your browser account, they will have access to all your logins. It draws a stark contrast to the scattering of features in Google Password Manager. The password manager will also alert you when one of your passwords has been compromised in a security breach, or if you're using weak or repeated passwords. The smooth functionality provided by Locker is also presented in a clearer and more explicit manner. The security of all your accounts is tied to your browser account’s securityĪnother risk, along the same lines, is if you use the sync option to make those logins available on all your devices. While Google Password Manager only has good integration into Chrome and Android, you can have the same experience with Locker everywhere. That gets rid of those pesky blanked characters and displays the password in all its glory. If they’re really crafty, they can hit F12 and use the browser’s developer console to remove the type=”password” code on the login page. They can visit any of those sites and log in using Chrome’s auto-fill function. The passwords are blanked out, yes, but the usernames and associated websites aren’t. They can walk up, go into Chrome’s settings and see all the stored logins. However, they don’t know your Windows password because you might walk away from your laptop or PC and leave it unattended. To get to the password section of Google Chromes settings panel, type chrome://settings/passwords into the address bar.
