Passwords and users are that big problem of online accounts, we must remember so many that on more than one occasion we forget them, although luckily on Android there is a very simple solution. Google’s services go to this extreme, allowing us to auto-complete passwords and all necessary data, also including forms information.
Surely you know the option to save passwords in Google Chrome, well this method is similar although it applies to all mobile applications. Just remembering the password of our Gmail will be enough, the others are already in charge of Google just by having this option activated that we show you.
Write passwords and single users on Android
To start taking advantage of this function, we just have to follow some simple steps that will allow us to save them all in our account. From Android 8 this option is available on all Android phones , regardless of the personalization layer we have, although the route may vary and in that case we recommend using the settings search engine.
- First we will access the smartphone settings.
- Next we look for the system option.
- Next we enter languages and text entry.
- Now we choose auto-complete service
- And finally we select Google as the default service.
Save passwords to Google account
Once we have activated it, we will have to start saving the passwords and for this we only have to log in to any application that supports this method. Currently the main social networks or services available are already compatible. When we start the session, the option to save it appears at the bottom and so the next time we go to login we will only have to press the button.
In case we have more than one account, a drop-down list will appear with all of them, clicking on the one we need will be automatically completed and we can enjoy the palace. With this process we can already start using the function of autocomplete passwords , but if we really want to take advantage of it with all its capabilities we will have to save our data correctly to use it later.
Fill data in forms
The next step to let our Android mobile write everything for us is to add the information to the auto-complete service . To start we must follow the same steps as before: Settings> System> Languages and text input. But in this case instead of Google we will touch on the settings option where we will have access to everything necessary.
We will be able to add the personal information with which the data of our name and surnames will be completed, in addition to the default address or the payment methods. From here we can also know the passwords that we are storing in the Google account, not only those of Google Chrome, but also those of apps.
