If you are operating on a computer that is not yours, or in any case you have installed a new copy of Chrome and you want to recover your passwords, you must access your Google account by pressing the appropriate profile picture found at the top right of the browser window and entering your account credentials.

The latter, in this way, are synchronized on all devices accessed with the same Google account; all in a safe and fast way.

How to find unsaved passwords on Chrome
How do you say? You would also like to take a look at the password that you have not saved in Google Chrome? In this case, you need to check in the operating system settings or other browsers, as explained in my tutorial on how to see saved passwords.
In the future, to avoid "disseminating" passwords between various browsers, I strongly recommend that you have a password manager, that is a program that allows you to store and manage your access keys by remembering a single master password. I propose below the solutions that I consider most valid and reliable.
- 1Password (Windows / macOS / Linux / Android / iOS / iPadOS) - One of the best password managers available for different operating systems. The program is available as a free trial for 14 days (after which you can decide whether to upgrade 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 navigation browsers.
- KeePass (Multi) - an excellent free and open source program available for all operating systems (however, on some of them, such as Android and iOS, alternative versions based on the same code are available). It is a solution suitable for more experienced users as it offers various manual configurations. Furthermore, the program does not automatically synchronize passwords with the cloud (to do this you need to proceed manually by relying on external cloud storage services).
- North Pass (Windows / macOS / Linux / Android / iOS / iPadOS) - another convenient and valid password management program developed by NordVPN. It allows you to store passwords, credit card data, software license codes 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 the major web browsers and is available in basic form free of charge for one user or paid for multiple users starting at $ 3,33 per month.
For specific details on installing and using these software, I refer you to my tutorial on how to manage passwords and the one on the best apps for memorizing passwords.
In case of further problems or doubts
Even though you have strictly followed my instructions, is there anything that is still not very clear to you? Has any hitch arisen in the course of construction that you are unable to remedy? I like it a lot! However, you can look at the thing by visiting the online section dedicated toofficial support for Google Chrome that "big G" has set up on its website.
