About Google Password Manager

Google Password Manager is the credential storage built into Google's products. It saves passwords and passkeys for people signed in to Chrome, Android and their Google account, and offers them for autofill so that users do not have to type or remember each one.

The vendor site could not be read when this entry was prepared, so detailed capabilities are not itemized here. The service is proprietary and tied to a Google account, with no separate server to host. It is described as free, which makes it a common default for people who have not chosen a standalone password manager.
