Easy Ways To Find Your Lost Passwords With Google

There are so many ways to recover a lost password for your social media and web accounts. It can be quite tedious trying to remember each username and passwords for accounts across the web. With the following steps, you can find most of your lost passwords with your Google account.

If you use Google’s Chrome browser, most of the time after registering on a website or even when signing in, a notification prompt will be displayed by the browser. This notification prompt will ask you if you would like to save the registration/sign in details or not. There are a lot of people who don’t know that these passwords are saved directly to your google account.

For example, imagine you wanted to sign in to Facebook, with a new device or new browser and you can’t remember your password. You always know that the chrome browser usually fills the login details automatically. The new browser doesn’t know your password because you have not saved it there. You don’t need to click on the option that says “forgotten password” and then set up a new password all over again. There are different ways to recover your lost passwords without having to set up a new password all over again.
