Such easy access to a browser-based password manager might tempt you to look into how to save and view passwords on Google Chrome. Today, we’ll explain how you can access and manage your credentials using the browser – and why it might not be so reliable at keeping your data secure.

How to view saved passwords on Chrome using a desktop device

You can use one of the three methods to view your saved passwords on Chrome. The first is the most straightforward:

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Click the three-dot icon at the top right corner of the toolbar.

3. Under “Passwords and autofill,” select “Google Password Manager.”

4. That’s it! You can now view all your saved passwords on Chrome.

You can also find your passwords on Chrome via the browser settings:

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Click the three-dot icon at the top right of the toolbar and  select “Settings.”

3. Locate “Autofill and passwords” in the sidebar and select “Google Password Manager.”

4. You can now view and access your saved passwords.

Alternatively, you can set up a shortcut to quickly access your saved passwords:

1. Go to Google Password Manager using one of the two methods above.

2. Select “Settings” in the sidebar.

3. Select “Add shortcut” and install the Google Password Manager app in your browser.

4. You can now quickly access your saved passwords via the progressive web app (PWA) on your desktop.

How to view saved passwords on the Chrome Android and iOS apps

Here’s how you can access passwords stored in Chrome on your Android or iOS device:

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Tap the three-dot icon (at the top right corner for Android or the bottom right for iOS) and select “Settings.”

3. Tap “Password Manager.” You may be prompted to verify your identity.

4. You can now see the full list of your saved passwords on Chrome.

How to manage your saved passwords

You can edit, import, and delete your saved passwords on Chrome using the Google Password Manager console. Let’s cover each of these processes step by step.

Editing passwords

1. In the “Passwords” tab, select the saved item you want to edit. If you can’t find it, use the search function in the console. You may be prompted to verify your identity.

2. Select “Edit.”

3. You can now change the username and password and add, edit, or remove an extra note.

4. Select “Save.”

Make sure that your new login credentials are accurate when you make changes.

Importing passwords

1. Go to Google Password Manager’s “Settings” tab.

2. Select “Import passwords.”

3. Select a CSV file on your device to import.

4. You will see a pop-up tab letting you know if the import was successful and how many passwords were imported to the browser password manager.

5. Select “View passwords” to see which items were imported, or close the pop-up.

Chrome also lets you delete the CSV file from your device to protect your imported credentials.

Deleting passwords

To delete a password, you will follow a procedure similar to editing.

1. In the “Passwords” tab, select the saved item you want to delete. You may be prompted to verify your identity.

2. Select “Delete.”

3. The password will be deleted.

You can cancel this action by clicking the temporary “Undo” button in the “Password deleted” confirmation. If you don’t take any action before the confirmation disappears, the deletion is permanent, and you can no longer restore the password.

You can also bulk-delete passwords from Chrome:

1. In the Chrome settings, select the “Privacy and security” tab.

2. Here, select “Delete browsing data.”

3. In the “Advanced” tab, check the “Passwords and other sign-in data” box.

4. Select “Delete data.”

This will permanently delete all your saved passwords, and you won’t be able to restore them.

Tips for better password management

Passwords are an inescapable part of navigating the digital world —- after all, they protect and grant access to our personal data. Juggling them all can be challenging, especially when you forget a password while rushing through your tasks. We’ve got a few tips to make password handling simpler for you:

• Ensure all your passwords are unique. If a password you reuse is breached, all accounts protected by it can be compromised. Having one-of-a-kind passwords for each account keeps your data more secure as you browse online.

• Create strong passwords for your accounts. We recommend all your passwords be at least 12 characters long and use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Read our article with tips for setting up a strong password.

• Update your passwords regularly. The longer you use a password, the more likely it is to eventually appear in a data leak. We recommend changing your passwords roughly every 3-6 months.

• Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA). You can use another device to verify your login attempts. As an additional layer of security, multi-factor authentication helps ensure that your accounts remain safe even if your passwords are compromised.

• Use a password manager. With so many accounts to manage, it’s easy to forget each unique password. Both Chrome’s built-in browser password manager and third-party tools like NordPass offer a convenient way to access your login credentials on the go without the need to memorize them all.

Is keeping passwords on Google Chrome worthwhile?

Google Password Manager is a useful solution, as far as browser-based password managers go. However, many users rely on it solely for its convenience while putting actual password security on the back burner. Compared to purpose-built password managers, a built-in browser solution actually leaves much to be desired.

Although you must verify your identity to view items stored in Google Password Manager, the verification lasts the full browser session. Google also hasn’t disclosed what encryption it uses to secure sensitive data. A password manager like NordPass encrypts your data using XChaCha20 encryption and lets you set up Autolock, ensuring you need to re-verify your identity after a set period.

All default Chrome features, including the password manager, are free. NordPass is also available for free on your device and preferred browser – Chrome included. The free version offers the essentials, like encrypted credential storage, autofill, and autosave. With NordPass Premium, you can unlock advanced features, such as Password Health, Data Breach Scanner, and Email Masking. You don’t have to compromise security for convenience – with NordPass, you get both.

How to reset your Peacock password

All you need to reset your Peacock account is your email address.

1. Visit the Peacock website and select “Sign in” at the top right corner.

2. Enter your email address and select “Continue.”

3. Select “I don’t know my password.”

4. Enter the email address associated with your Peacock account and check your inbox for the reset email.

5. Click the “Reset your password” button in the email. You will be redirected to the password reset page.

6. Enter and confirm your new password. Peacock requires a password to be at least 10 characters long and contain letters and numbers. We recommend using a password generator to create a complex and unique password for your account.

7. That’s it! You can now access your Peacock account with your new login credentials.

How to change your Peacock password

At the time of writing, Peacock doesn’t offer users multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional security. That means if your account gets breached, you risk losing it for good. To keep your payment information secure and your binge-watching sessions uninterrupted, we recommend changing your Peacock password to a stronger one.

1. Once you’ve logged in to your Peacock account, select “Account” at the top right corner of the home page.

2. In the Settings tab, select “Reset password.”

3. Select “Continue.” Peacock will send an email to your inbox with a password reset link. Make sure to check your spam folder. If you haven’t received it, you can request a new reset link.

4. Open the email you received and click the “Reset your password” button.

5. Enter your new password and confirm the change.

Recovering account access if you can’t reset or change your Peacock password

Peacock has a two-step login process. First, you enter the email address and, once Peacock has checked that it matches an existing account, it lets you input the password. Generally, you shouldn’t have any issues accessing your account if you make a typo in your email address – you’ll be redirected to create a new account. If you see that page instead of the password step, you probably misspelled your email address on step one.

Always check your inbox’s spam folder after requesting a password reset. Sometimes, these emails get filtered out and don’t hit your primary inbox. However, double-check the sender’s domain. If your account credentials were breached, cybercriminals could send a phishing email masked as a password reset.

If you’ve forgotten your email address, you can still locate your Peacock account and reset your access:

1. In the login screen, select “I don’t know my email.” You will be redirected to the Account Finder page.

2. Enter your first and last name as well as your payment information.

3. Peacock will send an email to the address associated with your account.

4. From here, you can log in as normal or reset your Peacock password using the instructions above.

If you can’t reset your password and haven’t received an email from Peacock, you can contact their support team via the dedicated help center.

Keep your new credentials secure with NordPass

The last thing you want is for your movie night to be ruined by you losing access to your streaming account. While Peacock has a built-in security feature that prevents snoopers from seeing your bank details without you verifying this request via your email, your login credentials might be less lucky. At least that will be the case if you’ve developed a habit of reusing the same passwords for all your accounts, streaming or otherwise.

With the NordPass password manager, you can keep all your accounts neatly organized, your passwords unique, and your sensitive information secured. NordPass uses XChaCha20 encryption and zero-knowledge architecture to store your passwords, passkeys, credit card details, and any other personal information that you want to remain secure. Use the combination of autofill, autosave, and Password Generator to quickly create, store, and update your login credentials.

With Email Masking, you can create a decoy email address to protect your legitimate email from getting swamped with spam in case someone sells your data to a third party. You can even use your email mask for your Peacock account, and you’ll still get your password reset emails just fine. Use Password Health to find weak, reused, and exposed passwords, and get live alerts if your email address or credit card details end up on the dark web with the Data Breach Scanner.

You can get NordPass for free to start storing your passwords or upgrade to Premium to unlock extra features. With NordPass, you can enjoy your favorite entertainment with a side serving of strong passwords.

Managing documents can be annoying. You have to make sure they’re kept secure, lest someone steals your private information, but you need them just accessible enough that you can access them in a pinch when you’re finalizing travel plans or handling taxes. Not to mention the hassle of staying ahead of renewals – who knew six months could go by so quickly when a passport renewal is in question?

NordPass is here to help you leave manual management struggles behind with Documents. This new item type, available with Premium and Family plans, allows you to store and manage digital copies of printed sensitive data.

What is Documents?

Documents is the new addition to the NordPass vault, offering a smart and secure way for users to store and manage up to 3 GB of digital personal documents, such as passports, IDs, and driver’s licenses.

Before the launch of Documents, NordPass Premium users were able to attach files to their stored credentials, secure notes, or contact information. However, it didn’t offer an option to manage digitized documents specifically. The introduction of dedicated document storage simplifies secure management of sensitive personal information by allowing NordPass users to find all their documents in one place.

Why Documents?

Personally identifying documents are still largely physical – you can store a plane ticket in your phone wallet, but you can’t do the same for your passport. Nevertheless, having digital copies of documents is often a necessity. If you’re applying for a visa or a job, filing for taxes, or sorting out college applications online, you need to provide a digital proof of identity or other relevant documentation that was issued in print.

Handling physical and digital documents requires care and sensitivity. Some physical identity documents are issued once and are difficult to replace. Losing access to them can put your sensitive information at risk. Creating a digital copy simplifies online procedures and can be useful if you ever need to replace the original.

A physical document can end up lost, stolen, or shredded. A person can accidentally spill a glass of water on it, and the ink on the paper can fade over time. Digitizing and encrypting personal documents creates a secure alternative form of storage and helps preserve your sensitive information for longer. Like any credentials or sensitive information kept in your NordPass vault, digital documents are protected by the XChaCha20 encryption algorithm and zero-knowledge architecture.

How does Documents work?

Secure document storage is available on the NordPass browser extension, iOS and Android apps, as well as desktop for all NordPass Premium users. It’s as easy as storing your credentials, with the added bonus of quick access to file uploads, adjustable reminders, and custom fields for additional information.

A smarter and safer way to store documents

Don’t waste any more time trying to remember where exactly you’ve saved the digital copy of your ID. With NordPass, you can find them all in your vault. You can select if you want to add an ID card, driver’s license, or passport. You can also store other unlisted documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, warranty cards, or insurance agreements, and customize the information you add. Each file attachment you upload can be up to 40 MB. You can set an adjustable reminder for expiration dates or other events. You can find all saved documents under the “Documents” tab or by entering their name in the search bar.

End-to-end-encrypted privacy

NordPass uses end-to-end encryption to protect all sensitive data in your vault, and document storage is no exception. Each document you upload is encrypted on your device and can only be accessed with your Master Password or biometrics.

Accessible on all devices

Don’t worry about keeping the flash drive with your digitized documents in your bag or forwarding attachment-only emails to your inbox. NordPass synchronizes your files across all devices, ensuring that your documents are on hand and available to download whenever you need them.

Flexible file storage

NordPass doesn’t limit the formats in which you store your documents. Anything goes, from standard files like JPG, PNG, or PDF, to specific formats issued with built-in security features. However, ensure your file is under 40 MB and your overall document storage doesn’t exceed 3 GB.

How to upload personal documents to NordPass

To start uploading a file in your document vault, simply go to the “Documents” tab and select “Add document,” or use the “Add” button in the “All items” tab on your NordPass extension or mobile app.

Upload from your device

Uploading a document to your NordPass vault is quick and easy. Simply drag and drop or tap to upload a file attachment directly from your phone or computer. You can attach multiple files to a document, as long as they’re under the size limit.

Add additional info in the custom fields

Need to leave an important note, external link, or take note of specific details in your document? Use custom fields to fill in the blanks. Personalize with important details, like date of issue, serial numbers, or names of relevant institutions, without downloading the attachments, and copy them directly from the vault. If you’ve added multiple attachments, you can use custom fields to keep track of which file contains what information.

Set reminders for key dates

Got an upcoming passport renewal, a pending payment, or a planned meeting you need to bring your document to? Set a reminder and get an alert via email and as an in-app notification once the time is up. Tap the notification to see more details about the related document. You can easily adjust or delete the reminder in the vault.

What are the benefits of storing personal documents in NordPass?

All your important records in one place

It’s not just documents that make your digital life easier. With NordPass, you can generate and store unique passwords for all your accounts or keep your credit card details secure. So if you need to log in to a governmental website to upload your sensitive information, you can kill two birds with one stone and use NordPass to protect your login credentials. It’s a flexible way to keep personal records protected – from passwords to passports.

Easy family document management

Preparing everything you need to obtain your and your partner’s marriage certificate? Getting visas sorted for the big family vacation? NordPass saves time by letting you store all the documents you and your family need in the same vault. Sort documents into folders for quicker vault management. Documents is available with the Family plan, allowing each person in your circle to manage their digitized personal information.

Please note that you can’t share documents with other NordPass users.

Access when you need it

Once you have your secure document vault set up, you can manage it to your preference. Keep your documents synced, remove outdated files to replace them with new versions, and download them on your device for quick and secure transfer.

If you switch to the Free plan, your previously uploaded documents will remain available in your vault until you delete them, and you will still receive reminder notifications.

Physical storage vs. online document storage: Finding a balance

At the crossroads of physical and digital, the latter has become a reliable way to preserve sensitive information. It adds a layer of reassurance that even if your physical documents are lost, you have a backup to fall back on. It’s not just the papers you use daily, either – digitization helps preserve historical information that can be lost to the passage of time. Thanks to digital document storage and encryption, physical document management can be handled more securely and reliably.

NordPass eliminates some of the complex steps of document storage. Storing digital documents in an encrypted vault lets you declutter your device and offers higher security than unencrypted internal or external storage. Documents on NordPass lets you manage digital-only files and make it easier to keep track of updates and renewals.

Documents is available now with NordPass Premium and NordPass Family.

What is the Sharing Hub?

The Sharing Hub is a feature accessible only through the NordPass Admin Panel. As an organization Owner, you can use it to view and easily manage all individual items or folders shared within your organization, as well as those shared externally by your users.

This means two things: first, you gain full visibility into your company’s shared data—allowing you to see exactly who has access to what, the type of access they have, and who originally shared each item—all from one centralized dashboard. Second, from the same dashboard, you can manage access to shared credentials and folders in real time by granting, revoking, or modifying permissions for any shared item or folder. This way, you can ensure your employees share sensitive information like passwords, passkeys, or credit card details securely—without relying on unsafe channels—and you stay informed, ensuring everyone only has access to what they need.

Many existing password management solutions don’t provide full visibility and control over shared credentials from a single, centralized dashboard. Because of this, organizations often either rely on unsupervised peer-to-peer sharing or restrict credential sharing altogether, with the latter leading some employees to ignore established policies and use insecure channels like email or chat apps. Naturally, both scenarios pose a serious risk to the company’s cybersecurity. NordPass solves this problem with the Sharing Hub, giving administrators the tools they need to easily monitor and manage access to shared items.

How the Sharing Hub works

Access and availability

The Sharing Hub is exclusive to users with the Owner role within the organization. Owners can access this feature via the Admin Panel.

The Sharing Hub is available only with our Enterprise plan. The Sharing Hub is purpose-built to meet the needs of companies that require comprehensive oversight and management of access to their sensitive information.

Enabling and disabling the Sharing Hub

Organization Owners have the ability to turn the Sharing Hub on or off based on their needs within a company. This can be done through the Settings page in the Admin Panel. 

Centralized dashboard

Once enabled, the Sharing Hub becomes a centralized dashboard where organization Owners can track and manage all shared items within and outside the company. This includes items that have been shared internally, such as passwords, passkeys, credit cards, personal information, or secure notes. Thanks to the Sharing Hub, you will be able to see metadata for each item such as the title, type, owner, and the last edited date. This metadata provides valuable context without exposing the contents of the shared items.

It’s also worth noting that the Sharing Hub doesn’t give Owners direct access to the items themselves or a way to make changes to them. Instead, its main purpose is to offer improved visibility of items shared across the organization and make it easier to manage who has access to what. This means that, as an organization Owner, you can see who has access to certain items, who originally shared them, and what level of access they have—then adjust those permissions as needed.

Access management

Thanks to the Sharing Hub, organization Owners can easily grant, change, or remove access to shared items or folders for anyone in the organization. In other words, you can give someone access whenever it’s needed, limit what they can do with it, or remove their access entirely if it’s no longer necessary.

To make things clearer, here are some key features you get with the Sharing Hub:

• Add/remove users and groups to/ from shared folders.

• Add/remove users to/from specific shared items.

• Adjust access levels like view, edit, autofill, or share for both items and folders.

• Transfer ownership of shared items or folders.

• Share folders with groups even if the organization Owner isn’t part of that folder.

With all this centralized control, organization Owners can stay on top of access management, reduce the risk of human error, and enforce strong security policies across the organization.

Filtering and sorting options

Tracking a huge number of shared items can be tricky. To simplify that process, the Sharing Hub includes filtering and sorting features that are designed to help Owners track the data efficiently.

• Filtering by item type: Owners can filter items by their type, for example, passwords, secure notes, or shared folders. 

• Filtering by user or group: Owners can select a specific user or group to see all items shared with them.

• Sorting by members’ status: You can sort members based on their status: Active, Inactive, or External.

• Sorting by title: Owners can sort items by title and organize items alphabetically, making it easier to locate specific items by name.

• Sorting by last edited date: Owners can sort items by last edited date, which can greatly help in identifying recent changes or updates.

Access details and ownership information

The Sharing Hub provides detailed information about who has access to each shared item and their specific permission levels. Owners can see:

• Active users: Users that currently have access to the item, along with their permission levels.

• Inactive users: Users who have been deactivated but may still have residual access to items.

• Pending shares: There are invitations that have been sent to users but not yet accepted. Pending shares indicate that the item is in the process of being shared, but access has not been established.

• External shares: Items created by organization users and shared externally are marked with a special icon and labeled “External.” This visibility helps owners monitor data that is shared outside the organization, which could pose additional security risks.

To further enhance usability, the Sharing Hub also includes a search function that allows owners to search for items by their title. This is quite useful when the owner wants to quickly identify certain items without needing to scan through long lists or apply multiple filters. The search tool will ease the process of finding items and save time.

How can the Sharing Hub help your organization?

The Sharing Hub can help companies enhance their security and operational efficiency by offering centralized control of all shared items and folders. With this feature, organizations can more effectively prevent unauthorized access attempts, thoroughly audit all shared credentials and access levels from a single dashboard, and respond quickly to potential misconfigurations or cyber threats. In other words, the Sharing Hub helps ensure employees share credentials securely—without relying on insecure channels like email or chat apps—while giving admins the oversight and control needed to keep credential sharing safe and appropriate.

With the introduction of the Sharing Hub, NordPass meets the current needs and future demands of organizations needing more control and compliance capabilities. This makes NordPass stand out in the market, where security and transparency come first.
