Where Are Chrome Passwords Stored on Mac?

Google Chrome, like many other browsers, offers a built-in password management feature that allows users to save and autofill their login credentials for various websites. These saved passwords are stored securely within the browser for convenience. So, where exactly are Chrome passwords stored on a Mac?

On a Mac computer, the Chrome passwords are stored in the user's Keychain, which is a secure password management system provided by macOS. The Keychain is designed to store passwords, encryption keys, certificates, and other sensitive information in an encrypted format to ensure maximum security.

To access your Chrome passwords on a Mac:

1. Open Google Chrome on your Mac.
2. Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and click on 'Passwords'.
4. Here, you can view and manage all the passwords saved in Chrome, including the option to export them if needed.
5. If you want to view the passwords saved in the Keychain, you can do so through the 'Keychain Access' app on your Mac.

It is essential to keep your Mac, browser, and password management tools up to date to ensure the security of your sensitive information. Be cautious while storing and sharing passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.
