Finding lost passwords

crich70 · 10-27-2019, 09:26 AM

I came across a neat little trick this morning. If (in google chrome) you go to Settings>passwords and have your passwords saved you can go to the top of the page (just above your list of saved passwords) where the 3 dots are and click on the 3 dots to access the option to export a list of your sites and passwords. It them saves the list to your computer in an excel document. Or you can click on the eye icon to the right of a given site and show yourself what your password for that site is (in case you've forgotten it).

Wow, Thanks Crinch. I don't use Chrome for Windows, but I do use it on my Android Phones. You have to select "Desktop Site", but it works after that.

Thank goodness it requires biometrics to open it, else all my passwords would be hanging out for anyone to see.
