Remembering passwords is a task in itself, given that current times require one to have a password for so many platforms, including social media handles, email accounts, bank accounts, and more. Password managers, therefore, have turned out to be a very popular choice among people, as they save one from the hassle of remembering the passwords and the risk of forgetting them. Furthermore, password managers are a key form of online security, and Google Chrome’s password manager makes it pretty easy to save passwords, which can be accessed on any device by signing in using your Google account. Google is now making its Chrome password manager even better by adding room for notes in it.

Google Chrome’s Password Manager To Get Notes Soon

Notes are a pretty common part of various password manager services such as LastPass and 1Password, which provide users with a more informed experience. Users can add various identifiers in the password manager notes to sort the passwords in a more sequential and orderly manner. The functionality is now going to be added to Chrome. As spotted by Reddit user u/Leopeva64, the latest Chrome Canary release comes with the Notes field in the Chrome’s password manager right underneath the username and password fields. Here’s how the revamped interface will look like:

The option reportedly appears when you add a new password or when you edit an existing password. The Notes feature can really come in handy, as it will provide context to the account and even let you add security questions or a hint of sorts to help remember the password.

The feature is currently only available to Chrome’s latest Canary build, but we can expect Google to roll it out as part of a stable release in the coming days. The feature will likely make its way to the stable channel sometime during April or May. That being said, the latest Notes feature for the Google Chrome password manager is a Canary-only feature for now, so there’s no guarantee that it will be made available to the public.
