Passwords & Accounts

Passwords

Underneath passwords you will see all the passwords that are saved by Google.

For security and convenience purposes this is a great feature. You will be able to set up strong and complex passwords that you don’t have to remember because they will be saved on your Google Account.

When this is set up, data will be sent to Google. It will be encrypted on the way over but they will be able to see:

• You’re page views and taps in applications
• Crash Logs
• Diagnostics 

Autofill Service

If there is an Autofill service that you trust more than Google for security and privacy you can download another app through the app store.
