Get your bookmarks, passwords, and more on all your devices

When you sign in to Chrome, you can save info in your Google Account. You can then use your info on all your devices where you’re signed in with the same account. Learn how to sign in to Chrome.

When you turn on sync, you’ll find the same info on all your devices:

  • Bookmarks
  • History and open tabs
  • Passwords
  • Payment info
  • Addresses, phone numbers and more
  • Settings and preferences
When you're signed in to Chrome with your Google Account but don't have sync turned on, you can also access:
  • Payment info you saved to Google Pay.
  • Passwords you saved to your Google Account.
  • Addresses you saved to your Google Account.

Choose what info is synced

When you turn on sync, all your profile information is saved to your Google Account. If you don't want to sync everything, you can change what info is saved.

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, select More More and then Settings and then You and Google.
  3. Select Sync and Google services.
    • To find out what you've synced, select Review your synced data.
  4. Under "Sync," select Manage what you sync.
  5. Select your sync option:
    • To sync all of your data, select Sync everything.
    • To choose which data you want synced, select Customize sync.

Keep your info private with a passphrase

With a passphrase, you can use Google's cloud to store and sync your Chrome data without letting Google read it. Your payment methods and addresses from Google Pay aren't encrypted by a passphrase.

Passphrases are optional. To reduce the risk of a data breach, your synced data is always protected by industry-leading encryption.

If you’re having trouble syncing with your passphrase, you may have to update Google Chrome to the latest version.

Find your Chrome info on all your devices

You can find information you’ve saved on other devices after you’ve turned on sync. When you’re signed in to Chrome, you can also access your:

  • Passwords and addresses saved to your Google Account
  • Payment info from Google Pay

Certain settings, themes, and progressive web apps are synced across devices. Themes and settings update on devices where you're also signed in and syncing in Chrome. You can choose which apps to install on a device.

Fix problems with sync

If you're on an older version of Chrome, it sometimes has difficulty syncing. Update to the newest version of Chrome.
