You can add, delete, and modify passwords in your manager, enabling you to use secure, unique passwords without having to rely on your memory by inputting them yourself.

How to add passwords in Google Chrome's Password Manager

When you're signed into your Google account on the Chrome browser, Chrome will ask you if you want to save the password when you access a website that asks for your login credentials. Once you click Save in the pop-up window, the username and password is saved to your Chrome browser. In the search bar, you can click Preview (the eye icon) to see what password you are saving. If the username is incorrect or blank, enter the username associated with that particular site. You can also edit your password in the password textbox.

How to view, edit, or delete Google Chrome passwords

Your usernames and passwords are compiled into one list, which allows Chrome to autofill your saved information on websites you chose. Accessing it will allow you to edit and delete passwords.
