Once locked, the only way you can unlock and access your passwords would be with the help of a unique key. This adds a layer of privacy and security to your passwords, so they don&#8217;t fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_On-Device_Encryption_Works\"><\/span>How Does On-Device Encryption Works?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you turn on On-device encryption on Chrome, it will scramble your saved passwords. In other words, it turns the regular string of words into gibberish, making it difficult to decode the real password.<\/p>\n<p>It can only be accessed on a trusted device using a screen lock, including fingerprint or Google account password. These two are your unique key.&#xA0; If you ever lose your device or forget the unique key, then all the passwords will be lost along with it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Pros_and_Cons_of_Using_On_Device_Encryption\"><\/span>What are the Pros and Cons of Using On Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Though the feature feels like a much-needed addition in Google Chrome in terms of privacy, it still has its fair share of downsides. So if you are thinking about enabling On-device encryption right away, we recommend you go through its pros and cons first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:&#xA0;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encrypts all the saved passwords.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords remain encrypted till unlocked with a unique key.<\/li>\n<li>The key remains with the user only; not even Google has access to it.<\/li>\n<li>Protects sensitive data from being stolen by hackers.<\/li>\n<li>Devices signed in with the same Google account will only be able to access passwords.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:&#xA0;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you lose the keys (Google account password), the password data will be lost with it.<\/li>\n<li>Password auto-fill might stop working on some websites.<\/li>\n<li>Google will not be able to flag weak or compromised passwords.<\/li>\n<li>Once enabled, it cannot be disabled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Though on-device encryption does offer better privacy, it also adds the risk of losing your passwords. So if you plan on using it, remember your Google Account password at all costs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enable_On-Device_Encryption_in_Google_Password_Manager\"><\/span>How to Enable On-Device Encryption in Google Password Manager?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On-device encryption is currently available on all platforms, including PC and iOS.

On-device encryption, all the existing passwords saved in Chrome will be encrypted. There is no way to reverse or disable this process. Auto-fill might stop working for certain websites, and you might be required to scan your fingerprint or enter a Google password every time a website asks for your password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Should_I_Enable_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. Should I Enable On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are an individual who respects their privacy and doesn&#8217;t want your passwords to get leaked or fall into the wrong hands, then you should enable this feature. Just make sure to evaluate all the risks attached to on-device encryption first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_Can_I_Recover_Passwords_After_Enabling_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. How Can I Recover Passwords After Enabling On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To recover your passwords after enabling On-device encryption, you need to use your Google account password or the screen lock of your Android smartphone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Can_you_Disable_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. Can you Disable On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. Once you have encrypted your passwords using On-device encryption, it cannot be disabled. This is why we recommend you go through the terms of using this feature before enabling it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Which_Chrome_Version_Supports_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. Which Chrome Version Supports On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google Chrome version 108 added support for On-device encryption on Chrome for Android. If you do not see this option or the updated password manager, head over to Google Chrome and update your browser.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_Do_I_Access_My_Passwords_on_a_New_Device_after_Enabling_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. How Do I Access My Passwords on a New Device after Enabling On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can access your Chrome passwords as soon as you log in with your Google account on the new device or the Chrome app.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Will_I_Lose_My_Chrome_Passwords_If_I_Change_My_Google_Account_Password\"><\/span>Q. Will I Lose My Chrome Passwords If I Change My Google Account Password?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. When you change your Google account password, make sure to verify it during the setup process. Doing so will grant you access to all your encrypted Chrome passwords.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Can_I_Use_On-Device_Encryption_on_iOS_Devices\"><\/span>Q. Can I Use On-Device Encryption on iOS Devices?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. But to enable it on iOS devices, you need to visit the <strong>Google passwords<\/strong> page, tap on the gear icon,&#xA0;and scroll down to <strong>On-device encryption<\/strong>. From here, follow the on-screen steps.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Will_the_Password_Sync_Work_with_On-Device_Encryption\"><\/span>Q. Will the Password Sync Work with On-Device Encryption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, your passwords will still sync on all devices like before, but you might be required to enter your Google account password or screen lock to access them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chrome&#8217;s password manager is preferred by many as it offers some useful features like auto-fill and password sync, which lets you sync your passwords across multiple devices. But it lacked an important aspect which is security. On-device encryption tries to fix this, but it still needs to go a long way. One of the biggest issues with it currently is no option to disable it, but hopefully, Google will add it soon.
