While many iPhone and iPad owners simply rely on Safari for their browsing needs, the truth is that it might not be the case for everyone. Google Chrome is a very capable browser, even on mobile, and is the most popular option on the desktop.
Not only can you now set Chrome to be the default browser on your iPhone or iPad, but Google continues updating its mobile client with new and useful features. This includes things like being able to use Chrome as a Password Manager, without needing to download another app. But what about when it comes to managing those saved passwords?
How to View Saved Passwords in Chrome on iPhone and iPad
It’s one thing to be able to use Chrome as a password manager, but it doesn’t really help all that much if you can’t view saved passwords in Chrome. Whether you’re just trying to see if you have a password for an account or to actually see what the password is, it’s important to have this functionality. Here’s how you can view saved passwords in Chrome on iPhone and iPad:
Open the Google Chrome app on your iPhone.
Tap the … icon in the bottom right corner.
From the pop-up menu, tap Settings.
Tap Passwords.
From there, you’ll be presented with a list of all of the passwords that have been saved to Chrome. This list can be rather exhausting to try and navigate, so thankfully, there’s a search box at the top that you can use. But this isn’t the only way to view passwords that you’ve saved to Chrome.
Open the Google Chrome app on your iPhone.
In the address bar, type passwords.google.com.
Press Enter.
This takes you to the Password Manager interface for your Google account. It’s the same interface that you’ll find when navigating to the same address on any of your other devices. The nice thing about this is that since all of the passwords are saved to your Google account, they are available all of the time.
It’s not too dissimilar to Apple’s iCloud Keychain, albeit with the caveat that Google’s solution is much easier to access from multiple devices. Whereas iCloud Keychain usually requires an Apple account, and even then, the functionality is limited.
