| 1404224 | 2015-07-06 23:16:00 | Would help but I dont use Chrome. Its way too buggy Did you write them down? Hi ya Speed and thanks for trying. We use it because the desktop and lappy share the browsers, to don't need to set them all up. My smart phone and yes after some 62 years I finally have one, uses it any ways. Strange how the passwords are still on phone, but not two computers. Something a bit strange with my spell checker too...... |

| 1404225 | 2015-07-06 23:17:00 | Anyways, I thought ww was not supposed to write passwords down? I've seen programs that say they store them, but unsure about that. |

| 1404226 | 2015-07-07 00:41:00 | Not sure what you are actually asking for help for? Anyways on the smartphone, the browser stores the password and can be viewed from inside the settings. Don't ever rely on this, you are better off just remembering your password, and if you cant do that use a password manager. Passphrases are easier and strong. Cheers, KK |

| 1404227 | 2015-07-07 00:58:00 | The desktop Chrome has the ability to sync passwords under Settings/Sign-in/Advanced sync settings. Tick the password box. Go here for how to set sync on the phone support.google.com Syncing all was the default on my tablet. Try the desktop setting and see whether it does anything. But turn the phone off in case it syncs the desktop deleted passwords! Syncing can be problematic in my experience, unless you know exactly what it was designed to do! Good luck. BTW, I use 'Password Safe' to store my passwords but there are others as well. |

Cheers, KK What Im asking is, "How do I get all the passwords back"? They must be still there as smart phone stills has them. |

| 1404229 | 2015-07-07 03:04:00 | Can you export them, or sync them with Google? Maybe you could copy (as in write) them on paper then use them where you want? |

| 1404230 | 2015-07-07 04:07:00 | Passwords for what, you need to be specific. Gmail, particular websites, bank a/c's ? Some wont be easily extracted from the ph, and will have to be reset . But it looks like no, you'll need to reset some of them (Gmail for a start) . The ph doesnt store the actuall password, just a token . security.stackexchange.com |
