Based on the security features available in Chrome, it is possible for hackers to take advantage of some of these features to have your passwords stolen. Chrome is a web browser with many built-in security features. One is to remember saved passwords, so they are entered automatically the next time you visit that site instead of typing them in. Chrome will not remember passwords that the user has not typed into a password field, though it does store those as well.
In addition, if the user wants to use a password manager to store their passwords for them, Chrome can integrate with it fairly well. It is not like other browsers. You can’t access all your saved passwords directly, and that’s mostly for your own good. You can view and delete them, though.Here is how:
How To View Your Saved Passwords In Chrome
Chrome stores passwords in a completely different place than other browsers. Other browsers store them in a file on your computer, stored in plain text. Chrome stores them in a database on your computer, encrypted with the same encryption used to store everything else in Google’s cloud. As long as you are signed into Chrome, you can view your saved passwords.
The following steps will show you how to do it:
1. Open up the Chrome browser and click on the button that looks like three horizontal bars. This should be next to your address bar, and if you cannot find it there, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+B to open the browser’s developer tools.
2. Click “More Tools”. You may have to click on the little arrow next to “More Tools” to get the drop down menu.
3. Click “Extensions”. This will allow you to manage your saved passwords in the cloud.
4. Click on “Secure Password Management”. This will open your password database in a new tab or window for you to view.

How To Keep Your Passwords Safe In Chrome
Your passwords are important, so it’s only natural that you want to protect them. Here are some tips to help you make sure your passwords are safe in Chrome.
• Never give out your password information to anyone. Remember that Chrome will not ask for your credentials over email or text message.
• Make sure your passwords are strong enough to keep you safe. This means the password should be at least 12 characters long and should use letters, numbers and symbols rather than just words. It is also important to change your passwords often.
• You should also ensure that you have a different password for every site or account that requires one. This will help keep your information even more secure.
