Every password you have ever let Google save is in one place: passwords.google.com. Sign in, confirm it is you, and the full list appears, including logins saved from Chrome on other devices.
Most people go looking for it for the same reason. You reset a password on your laptop, Chrome quietly saved the new one, and now you need it on your phone. This guide covers where the list lives on every platform, how to read and export it, and what to check when a password you expect to see is not there.
One quick clarification, because these get confused constantly. Your Google account password is the one you use to sign into Google, and no page will show it to you. If you have lost it, reset it at accounts.google.com. Your Google password list is the set of passwords Google has saved for other websites, and that is what everything below is about.
How to View Your Google Password List
On a computer
- Sign into Chrome with your Google account
- Click your profile icon, then Passwords and autofill
Or click the three-dot menu, hover over Passwords and Autofill, and click Google Password Manager - The Passwords tab lists every saved login. Click one to expand it, reveal the password, or make edits
You do not need Chrome for any of this. passwords.google.com shows the same list in Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
On Android
- Open the Chrome app
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top right
- Tap Settings
- Tap Google Password Manager
The same list is also available outside Chrome at Settings > Google > Autofill > Google Password Manager, which is what fills passwords into Android apps.
On iPhone and iPad
- Open the Chrome app
- Tap the three-dot menu
- Tap Password Manager, scrolling to Settings first if your app version requires it
If a login is missing here, check iCloud Keychain. Safari saves to Apple's store, not Google's, and the two do not talk to each other.
How to Export Your Google Password List
Open Google Password Manager, click Settings, then Export passwords.
Google downloads a .csv file after you confirm with your device PIN or biometrics.
Be careful with that file. It lists every username and password you own in plain text, with no encryption. Import it wherever it needs to go, then delete it and empty your trash. A forgotten export sitting in a downloads folder is one of the easier ways to lose every account at once.
Why a Password Might Be Missing
Three things account for almost every "it is not there" case.
You are signed into the wrong Google account. Click the profile icon at the top right and check the email. Passwords saved under a personal account will not show up in a work profile.
You were signed out when it was saved. Chrome still saves passwords when you are not signed in, but they stay on that one device and never sync. Go back to the machine where you first saved it.
Chrome was not saving passwords at all. Check that Offer to save passwords is toggled on in Google Password Manager settings.
How to Turn On Google's Password Manager
- Sign into Chrome with your Google account
- Open Google Password Manager from the three-dot menu under Passwords and Autofill
- Click Settings in the left sidebar
- Switch on Offer to save passwords
Is It Safe to Keep Your Passwords in Google?
Reasonably, against remote attackers. Google encrypts your saved passwords and Password Checkup will warn you when one turns up in a known breach. That is more protection than most people had before.
The exposure is closer to home. By default Google holds the encryption keys, which means Google can technically read your passwords, and the list unlocks with your device PIN rather than a separate master password. Anyone who can use your unlocked computer profile can export the whole list to a CSV in under a minute.
If you are staying with Google's password manager, turn on on-device encryption, which stops Google from being able to read your passwords at all.
How to turn on on-device encryption
On the web
- Go to passwords.google.com
- Click Settings
- Under On-Device Encryption, click Set up
In Chrome
- Three-dot menu > Settings > Autofill and passwords
- Google Password Manager > Settings > On-device encryption
Be aware that this cannot be undone. If you lose both your Google password and your device screen lock afterwards, those passwords are gone for good. Google cannot recover them, which is precisely the point.
For a fuller security assessment, read our analysis of whether Google Password Manager is safe. If you want to work with the list rather than just find it, our guide to the Chrome password manager covers editing, deleting, importing, and Password Checkup.
The One Thing the Google Password List Cannot Do
The list is built around a single Google account, and that assumption holds right up until someone else needs one of those passwords.
At that point your options are reading it out loud, pasting it into Slack, or emailing it. All three put the password somewhere you no longer control, and none of them can be taken back. When a contractor finishes or an employee leaves, the only way to actually revoke access is to change the password and redistribute it, which is the exact chore that pushes teams onto shared spreadsheets.
A team password manager solves this differently. With TeamPassword, credentials sit in shared groups rather than in one person's Google account. You add someone to a group to grant access and remove them to revoke it, with no password changes and no rotation scramble. An activity log records who opened which record and when, and the browser extension fills from the shared vault exactly the way Chrome fills from yours.
Moving over takes the CSV you exported above. Import it, delete the file, and you are done.

Google Password List FAQs
Can I see my Google passwords on the web without Chrome?
Yes. passwords.google.com works in any browser once you sign into your Google account and confirm your identity.
Does deleting a password from the list change it on the website?
No. Removing an entry only clears what Google has stored. Your account password on the site itself is unaffected, and you will simply have to type it in next time.
How do I stop Google from asking to save passwords?
Switch off Offer to save passwords in Google Password Manager settings. Our guide on disabling Chrome's password manager walks through it and covers the autofill prompts too.
What happens to my password list if I delete my Google account?
Every synced password goes with it. Export the list before you delete anything, and import it somewhere else first.
