- Chrome’s legacy sync feature will soon be replaced by a simplified log-in process.
- Just like logging into a 3rd party app with your Google Account, this is all you need to do to give Chrome permissions for storing saved passwords, payment info, and addresses.
- The update is already available for iOS, but will be arriving on desktop and Android in the near future.
Google first introduced Chrome Sync in 2009 as a way to easily share tabs, passwords, histories, and more between different devices. Over a decade later it’s now simplifying the process, according to the Chromium Blog (via The Verge).
Syncing your passwords and other information was previously a two-stage process that required you not only to sign in to your Google account but also required you to enable syncing. Although this system worked well enough, it wasn’t exactly intuitive. Google has already simplified the sign-in process on iOS, and now the same improvements are making their way to Android and desktops.
