How To Turn Off Google Password Manager in Chrome

Updated on April 7, 2025.

Have you recently made the switch to using a dedicated password manager, or planning to? Here’s how you can disable Google Password Manager on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, so that your new password manager works seamlessly on Chrome. 

Is Google Password Manager safe?

While browser-based password managers like Google Password Manager may seem convenient, they aren’t as secure as you think. This is because they don’t offer the same level of security as standalone password managers. Here’s why you should avoid using browser password managers like Google’s. 

If your browser is compromised, your passwords will be too

Cybercriminals are constantly seeking new methods to compromise accounts, and in some cases, they go as far as targeting a person’s web browser. They can achieve this by deceiving victims into clicking on malicious links or attachments within phishing emails, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the victim’s device. Once malware infects the device, cybercriminals can gain access to sensitive data, including information stored in the web browser, such as passwords and credit card details.

Browsers frequently remain logged in

If you use a browser like Chrome, you’ve likely noticed that you stay logged in automatically. While this feature is convenient, it can also put your sensitive information at risk. If your device were lost or stolen, anyone could easily access all of your stored data by simply opening the web browser.

The best alternative to Google Password Manager

Keeper Password Manager is the best alternative to Google Password Manager because it uses the strongest encryption, is cross-compatible, can store more than just passwords, and enables secure password and file sharing. 

Keeper® uses the strongest encryption

Keeper is a zero-trust and zero-knowledge password manager that safeguards all stored data with AES-256-bit encryption and Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC), the most robust encryption in cybersecurity. All encryption and decryption occur locally on your device and your vault can only be accessed with your master password or biometrics. 

Keeper is cross-compatible

One of the biggest challenges of using a browser’s password manager is that you can only access your passwords on that browser. For example, if you save your passwords in Google Password Manager, you won’t be able to access your passwords from Firefox. This can make it frustrating to sign in to accounts from different devices. Keeper Password Manager, on the other hand, can be accessed from your computer, phone and all web browsers, making it convenient and secure to access your passwords from anywhere, no matter what device or browser you’re using. 

Keeper stores more than just passwords

Most browser password managers can only store passwords. However, standalone password managers like Keeper can also store 2FA codes, credit card details, files, documents and images. This makes it easy for you to access whatever you need from wherever you are.

Keeper enables secure password and file sharing

Sharing passwords and other sensitive information is sometimes necessary, but doing so through text messages, direct messages or email can place your accounts at a greater risk of becoming compromised. Most browser password managers don’t enable secure password sharing, which can lead to you using insecure methods to share passwords. Keeper Password Manager, on the other hand, enables secure password and file sharing with other Keeper users through vault-to-vault sharing as well as with people who aren’t Keeper users through a feature called One-Time Share. This makes it easy for you to securely share passwords and other sensitive information with anyone, including family members, friends and coworkers.
