How to edit saved passwords in Chrome

Google Chrome lets you easily log in to websites by auto-filling your login details. The desktop version didn’t offer a way to edit passwords, yet things are about to change.

We had seen the code change and now, Chrome is finalizing its work on a new feature to give you the opportunity to edit any of the previously saved passwords.

Since the project is almost complete and Google developers are solving the identified bugs, users can already start testing it in the Chrome Beta builds.

Doing so is rather convenient, especially when Google Chrome remains the ideal choice in terms of browsers when it comes to protecting your privacy.

No saved password is ever exposed. More precisely, it protects your private data from anyone else who uses your personal computer, as well as from other threats on the Internet.

How to save passwords on Chrome?

Google Chrome, like pretty much any other browser in the market, lets you save the username and password for certain websites that you frequently visit.

If that’s your intention as well and you need a quick reminder, you simply need to open a window or tab in Chrome and click on your profile in the top-right corner of the screen.

You may now select Passwords, then toggle on the Offer to save passwords option.

You can now start saving all passwords to your Google account and later on, if you happen to change your mind, edit them with ease.
