Google's browser newest version, Chrome 69 comes with a password generator, while the built-in password manager which made debut in 2015, is now even more smarter and better at the same time.
The new password feature makes it even more important to use the Smart Lock feature in chrome, as storing passwords within the browser is more reason you’ll want to ensure that Chrome itself is totally secure.
Google has taken the password solution a step further, with a random password generator for the first time you register in a new site, which the browser then offer to store for next time you wish to log in to the site (though, you have the option to disallow it), Chrome will use the stored, randomized password to log you in.
Now, it's pretty easy for Chrome users to generate random passwords for new sites, and the password generated is essentially “secure” having a combination of numbers and letters as recommended.
Albeit, if you store a randomized password for a site like Netflix within Chrome, you’ll still be required to enter the password to have access to Netflix app or any other streaming app, as the applications don't use Chrome interface.
However, your passwords would still be accessible via the portal: passwords.google.com, from where you can search for the password by site name, and then use it to sign into the application.
The portal for storing the passwords: passwords.google.com require your Google account login before granting you access to the key list and if you use more than one browser, for instance, Microsoft Edge, Google would not reveal any of the stored passwords, except you allow Edge to store the password.
