View& Delete Saved Passwords On Google Chrome Browser

Do you know that browsers like Google Chrome are a storage location with a lot of information about login details of email and banking accounts?

Chrome browser installed on devices like Laptops, Android Phones, and iPhones save the username and passwords of every secure account like email account (Gmail, AOL mail, outlook), banking account, etc.

If you do not know how Google Chrome saves the username and password of your login, you may need to learn about the autofill feature.



The autofill feature is supposed to help people by automatically filling the username and password with their previously entered data.

However, the autofill feature can become a security liability if someone hacks into your device.



The only protection against it is your device password.


Okay, let me explain how Google Chrome installed on your machine gets your email and bank account username and password.

Consider a scenario where you are attempting to access your email account on Chrome.

By default, Google Chrome will ask, Do you want Chrome to save your password immediately after you enter the username and password to log in.

The natural tendency of a naive user is to click yes. The risk level is minimum if it is a personal gadget like his Android phone or laptop.

But what do you think if it is a shared computer? Anyone with basic computer knowledge can easily steal his email username and password from the browser.

All that requires is to know the administrative password of that device.
