How to automatically generate random secure passwords in Google Chrome?

If you use the Internet, it’s almost certain that you use Google Chrome as your primary web browser. As the most popular web browser in the world, Google Chrome is full of powerhouse features. Some of these include native integration with Google services, and a range of productivity enhancing extensions. But do you know that Google Chrome can automatically generate random passwords as well?

That’s right. Google Chrome includes a hidden feature that can be used to have the browser generate random secure passwords every time it detects a password field on a webpage. This can come in extremely handy when you’re creating online accounts and can’t think of strong passwords for the same. Here’s how to do it:


Step 1: Type chrome://flags in the URL bar to access Google Chrome’s flags page. Flags are the experimental features that are not yet ready to be included in stable browser builds.

Step 2: Once on the flags page, check the one that says Password Generation and change its value to Enabled. Finally, click the Relaunch Now button that appears at the bottom to restart Google Chrome and effect the changes.


That’s it. From now on, whenever Google Chrome detects a password field on a webpage, it will automatically suggest a random password as a drop-down choice. You can simply click on the generated password to use it for your account creation. Now that, is awesome.
