Currently, the use of Chrome passwords has become one of the most functional security mechanisms for accessing thousands of websites, whether for personal, educational or corporate use, since each user sets their own password, but this may incur in security flaws when using the same password in different sites and in the same way it can cause a headache when using multiple passwords which makes us easily lose which password of each site..
In Google Chrome there is the option to save the passwords of the sites which simplifies access to it (but we must be careful in who accesses our team) and although this really helps there is also a lack and that is that Google Chrome does not integrate the form to edit or update the passwords saved in the browser. We know that due to security policies, the most recommended is to change the passwords with a certain frequency, so TechnoWikis will explain how we can update and see the passwords saved in Google Chrome.
Next, we also leave you the video tutorial so you can see passwords saved on Chrome PC or Mac and also update them..
