in to Chrome
When you sign in to the Chrome browser, you can save and sync
things like your bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings to your

keep your data safe, we recommend you don't sign in if you're on a public
computer.

what signing in to Chrome means
How it's different than
signing into a website
Website sign-in: Signing in to a website allows the website to remember some of
your preferences and information.
Chrome sign-in: Signing in to Chrome connects your Google Account to your
browser for a more personalized browsing experience. All of your Chrome data,
like your bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings, will be synced to
your Google Account and available on any device where you sign in to Chrome.
You'll also be automatically signed in to Gmail, YouTube, Search, or other
Google services.
How signing in to Chrome
helps you
· Your browsing data, like your bookmarks, history, passwords, and
other settings, are saved and synced to your Google Account. That way, your data is available on any
device where you sign in to Chrome with the same account. And, any changes you
make to your data on one device sync to all the devices where you're signed in
to Chrome.
· If your computer is stolen or broken, you can get back your
bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings just by signing in to Chrome
again on your new computer.
· Your Google services, like Gmail, YouTube, and Search are easier
to use, since you'll automatically be signed in to them as well.
How Chrome works with Web
& App Activity
You can also get a more customized experience in Google products
other than Chrome when you link your Chrome history with your search and browse
activity from Web & App Activity.
If "Include history from Chrome and other apps in your Web
& App Activity" is checked on the Web & App Activity controls page, Google
uses your synchronized browsing data to provide personalized Google products and
services to you. You can change your preference any time, and manage individual
activities associated with your Google account.
Keep your data safe when
signed-in to Chrome
Don't sign in to Chrome if you're using a public or untrusted
computer. A copy of your data is stored on the computer you're using when you
sign in, and other people who use the same computer can see it. To keep your
information secure, synced data is encrypted when it travels between your
computer and Google's servers.
As an added layer of protection, your saved passwords are
encrypted on Google's servers using a cryptographic key. You also have the
option to encrypt all your synced data. You can remove
your synced data from
your account at any time.
Manage the data
that get synced across devices. You can control what gets synced.
