How to find unsaved passwords on Chrome
How do you say? Would you also like to take a look at the password you have not saved in Google Chrome? In this case, you have to check the operating system settings or other browsers, as explained in my tutorial on how to view saved passwords.
In the future, to avoid "disseminating" passwords between various browsers, I strongly advise you to equip yourself with a password manager, i.e. a program that allows you to memorize and manage your access keys by remembering a single master password. I propose below the solutions that I consider the most valid and reliable.
- 1Password (Windows/macOS/Linux/Android/iOS/iPadOS) – One of the best password manager available for different operating systems. The program is available as a free trial for 14 days (after which you can decide whether to switch to the paid version with various subscription solutions starting at $2,99 per month). It allows you to save access data to websites and credit card data by synchronizing them on all your devices and can be integrated into all major browsers.
- KeePass (Multi) – an excellent free and open source program available for almost all operating systems (however, on some of them, such as Android and iOS, alternative versions based on the same code are available). This is a solution suitable for more experienced users since it offers various manual configurations. Furthermore, the program does not automatically synchronize passwords with the cloud (to do this it is necessary to proceed manually relying on external cloud storage services).
- North Pass (Windows/macOS/Linux/Android/iOS/iPadOS) – another convenient and valid program to manage passwords developed by the programmers of NordVPN. It allows you to store passwords, credit card data, software license keys and sensitive information. The program is available in a free basic version and in a paid version (with the possibility of using it simultaneously on up to 5 devices) starting from 3,99 euros per month.
- Bitwarden (Windows/macOS/Linux/Android/iOS/iPadOS) – an open source tool to manage your passwords and encrypt them with a specific code. The program can be integrated with major web browsers and is available in basic form for free for one user or paid for multiple users starting at $3,33 per month.
