4 reasons to switch away from Google Password Manager 

Each one of our favourite Android phones comes with Google's password manager built in. It offers a convenient and safe way to store your credentials and is much better than relying on your memory to manually enter the single password you use everywhere. While it is indeed convenient, this built-in tool from Google isn’t a great password manager per se. It certainly won’t be our default recommendation even if you’re just starting with a proper password management system. These are some major reasons you should avoid Google Password Manager and turn to better third-party alternatives instead.

Let's run through the four reasons we think you should ditch Google Password Manager.

1. It locks you in: 

The Google Password Manager doesn’t have an app of its own — it lives inside the Chrome browser on your computer and the Play Services on your phone.

2. Are your passwords protected?: 

To access your passwords in Google Chrome, you need to authenticate yourself using your biometrics on Android phones, and that is as secure as it gets. But your passwords can also be unlocked using your phone’s PIN.

3. Not as feature-rich: 

While Google Password Manager is good enough for basic use, it lacks a lot of tools and features that you often find on dedicated alternatives, even on their free tiers.

4. Security concerns: 

The biggest selling point of the Google Password Manager is its ease of use and lower barrier to entry even for people who aren’t much technically inclined.
