If you’re a Mac user, you might already have the Password Manager Reauthentication flag enabled in Chrome. The user then needs to enter the system password in order to view the saved passwords. What the feature basically does is that it invokes the Credentials Manager on your system whenever the Show button is clicked.

This flag is available for both Windows and Mac versions of Google Chrome, but can be only toggled in the Mac version for now. But the latest version of Chrome includes a new flag property to toggle Password Manager Reauthentication. Google initially did not include an option to set a Master Password (for protecting saved passwords) in Chrome. Clicking on a particular website in this list reveals a Show button next to the corresponding masked password, which in turn reveals the password value in plain text.

To view the saved passwords, one simply has to navigate to Menu > Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Manage saved passwords (under Passwords and forms).Ī pop up appears showing a list of websites along with the corresponding saved passwords (in hidden mode). Passwords saved using Google Chrome are accessible from the Google Chrome Settings Menu.
