With billions of passwords compromised in data breaches every year, we all know how risky it is to reuse them. But creating (and remembering) strong, unique passwords can be a serious hassle. That’s where password managers come in. 1. Access a dedicated space and shortcut on desktop Google Password Manager now has a dedicated home in Chrome on desktop, making it easier to review all your saved online credentials or change your password settings. Check it out by clicking “Password Manager” in your Chrome menu or “Manage passwords” when Chrome prompts you to autofill a saved password. For even quicker access, you can now create a desktop shortcut for Google Password Manager, too. 2. Add more authentication methods on desktop Previously only available on mobile, biometric authentication is coming soon to desktop. If you enable this feature, you can require an additional layer of security before Chrome autofills your password, like fingerprint recognition, facial recognition or other methods supported by your computer’s operating system. 5. Find reused and weak passwords on iOS In addition to flagging compromised passwords, It’s also getting easier to sign into websites and view passwords with Google Password Manager on iOS. When you navigate to a log-in page in Chrome, you’ll see a larger, more tappable prompt to autofill your passwords. And when you review your saved credentials in Chrome, multiple saved accounts for one website will be conveniently grouped together.
