The provided information doesn't directly explain how to lock your Google Password Manager, but it does show how to access the settings. It seems you want to know how to enhance the security of your saved passwords. Let's explore how to manage and access Google Password Manager settings on Android, which is a step towards managing security:
To access Google Password Manager settings on your Android device, follow these steps:
- Open the Chrome app.
- Tap More (usually three dots) at the top right.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Google Password Manager.
- Tap Settings within the Password Manager.
From this settings page, you can:
- Manage Passwords: View, edit, and delete saved passwords.
- Offer to Save Passwords: Turn this feature on or off to control whether Chrome prompts you to save new passwords. (Reference Information: "Turn Offer to Save Passwords on or off.")
- Auto Sign-in: Enable or disable automatic sign-in to websites and apps using your saved passwords.
- Security Checkup: Review and address any weak, reused, or compromised passwords.
While this process doesn't lock the password manager in the sense of adding a separate PIN or biometric lock, it allows you to manage password saving and auto-sign, which can impact overall security. To secure your access to the password manager, ensure your device itself (phone/tablet) has a strong screen lock method (PIN, password, fingerprint, etc.). This protects access to all the information on your device, including your Google account and its associated services like Password Manager.
