If you are a fan of the Google Chrome web browser, you might have noticed that the browser automatically suggests super-strong passwords. After generating a password, you even get an option to save it on the password manager.
Google Chrome can do this because of its free built-in password manager, Google Password Manager. Even though Google Password Manager is great, many users choose to turn it off for security reasons.
So, if you are a Google Chrome user but don’t like the idea of saving the passwords in the browser, it’s time to disable Google Password Manager completely.
