The Importance of Google Password Manager
Google often reserves features for paying Workspace customers, but several conveniences extend to individual accounts as well. Google Password Manager (GPM) is one among the latter, available as a standalone app, a Chrome integration, and an Android system component.
Issues with Clearing Browsing Data
A secure password storage vault should remain unaffected when you clear the browsing data your browser accumulates. However, a Reddit user recently lost all their saved passwords while performing this action in Chrome. This incident should set the alarm bells ringing, as default options of Chrome for Android could delete all your credentials saved in Google Password Manager. It's important to note that deleted passwords cannot be recovered.
Google's Response
Google has acknowledged this issue and stated that they will remove that option to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
