Although Google Chrome can automatically detect when you’re entering a new password for saved credentials of a website and offers you to update it, the web browser now incorporates an option to edit saved passwords manually.
The ability to update passwords is currently on development, but anyone can enable the feature through the experimental settings using the latest version of Chrome in the Canary channel.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to edit saved passwords on Google Chrome.
