Let Chrome create strong passwords for you

The only thing trickier than thinking of a hard-to-guess password is remembering it later, but Chrome’s secret password generator solves both these problems. To activate the feature, type chrome:flags into the address bar, press Enter and scroll down to the option ‘Enable password generation’. Click Enable and restart your browser. The next time you need to choose a password to register with a site, Chrome will generate a strong one for you, using the required mix of letters and numbers. Select this to save it and Chrome will enter the password automatically next time you log into the site. You can check what the password is by going to Settings, ‘Show advanced settings’, ‘Manage passwords’ and clicking Show next to
the site’s name. For this reason, it’s best not to use the generator if you share your computer with someone else.
