JAKARTA - Google updated its password manager to have the same settings on Chrome and Android, making user accounts more secure.

In a report submitted by Engadget, this update will make Google's password manager easier to use across all platforms, and will automatically group passwords for the same sites and apps.

Now you can add passwords directly to Google Password Manager in addition to saving them when you sign in to your account.

With this update, Google hopes that Android users will be able to get to sites faster in Chrome with the touch-to-login feature, which will be available in an overlay at the bottom of the screen.

In addition, Google will also notify you if your saved passwords are exposed on the internet. So, you will receive notifications directly from Google. The compromised password warning will be available to Chrome users on iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Chrome OS as well.

Previously, Google allowed you to add Password Manager shortcuts to the home screen of your Android smartphone or tablet. Google's Password Manager Service will store all the passwords needed for apps, services, websites and more.

Google Password Manager can also generate unique passwords for each account. In fact, you can check if any of your passwords have been compromised.
