Because Google Password Manager is accessible on any device that uses Chrome, which currently accounts for around six in 10 browser sessions worldwide and is available to install on virtually every mainstream OS, it has the potential to reach millions of customers. It’s also built into the company’s mobile operating system, Android, and integrates neatly into many third-party apps, so around two-thirds of the smartphone market should be well catered for, too.
However, while very capable, the service is somewhat of an afterthought as the Google Chrome browser remains the primary focus, so it doesn’t have some of the features you may expect from dedicated password managers, nor does it have the specialized interface, instead taking a more under-the-radar, integrated approach.
