We change this Privacy Notice from time to time. If there are differences in our policy between products, we'll point them out. In this Privacy Notice, we use the term 'Chrome' to refer to all the products in the Chrome family listed above. Details specific to Chrome are provided in this Notice where relevant. If Google Play apps have been enabled on your Chromebook, the use and protection of information collected by Google Play or the Android operating system is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Google’s retention policy describes how and why Google retains data. Although this policy describes features that are specific to Chrome, any personal information that is provided to Google or stored in your Google Account will be used and protected in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy, as changed from time to time. While this and the manual password function might take a while to reach easily accessible settings, they should be worth the wait if you rely on Google's password tools.Learn how to control the information that's collected, stored, and shared when you use the Google Chrome browser on your computer or mobile device, Chrome OS, and when you enable Safe Browsing in Chrome.

This again isn't new for password managers, but could be vital if you want to remember the last time you changed a password or want a clue for any security questions.

More recently, that same user noticed a Chrome Canary 101 feature that lets you add notes for passwords. The feature is common in other password managers, but this should still be welcome if you'd prefer to use Google's built-in functionality instead of installing software and extensions. Reddit user Leopeva64-2 first spotted the manual password feature in Canary builds of Chrome at the end of 2021. If you know you'll frequently sign into a bank or favorite store, you can add the credentials without having to visit that site first. Android Police notes the latest stable version of Chrome includes a buried flag (chrome://flags/#add-passwords-in-settings) that lets you manually add passwords. You might soon have reasons to reconsider, though. Google Chrome hasn't been the greatest password manager, in part because you couldn't add passwords yourself - you've had to wait until the browser offered to do it for you.
