One of the main advantages of modern browsers and especially Google Chrome, is that the synchronization functions become essential tools that allow us to alleviate the tasks of integrating everything we have stored in the browser (history, passwords, etc.), the latter being one of the most important since access to many websites, platforms and other links requires the use of passwords..
Based on this, it is normal that we have different passwords since for security it is not advisable to use the same one in all the sites, so the synchronization of Google Chrome passwords will prevent us from entering each password manually.
However, there may come a time when passwords are not synchronized when we log on to another computer as they should be. That is why, in TechnoWikis we will explain various options to correct this error and allow Google Chrome to synchronize passwords as they should be..
1. How to update Chrome browser
The first solution available for this is to update the browser. With some updates you can fix Google Chrome errors.
Step 1
To check for updates we go to the menu "Customize and control Google Chrome" and then we go to the path "Help- About Google Chrome":

Step 2
In the next window we select an avatar and enter the desired name:
We click "Add" and then enter the email of the affected account again to restore synchronization..
7. How to reset Google Chrome
We can reset the Chrome values to their original state to check if it is a process error.

We click on “Reset configuration” to complete the process.
Note: Manage Google account
In case you have more than two Google accounts, it is ideal to know in detail which account you have signed in with since, if we try to synchronize one account, but we have logged in with another, the synchronization will not be correct, to check with which one Account is logged in. We go to the top of Chrome and there we will see the username and email with which we have logged in.
With any of these steps it will be possible to allow the synchronization in Google Chrome to be a complete success.
