Google Password Manager is an ecosystem-wide password management service for Google Chrome and Android users. Login information can be saved on apps and websites in Android and Google Chrome using Password Manager which can be used later during login. Password Manager basically removes the complexity of repeatedly giving the same password.

Google’s service saves the password as well as the email or username used on the website according to the type of website. There is no limit to saving account information in the password manager. Since this password manager works ecosystem-wide, this means that any password saved in Android or Google Chrome can be used on any device with the same Google Account login.
