Google patches Chrome issue that made saved passwords disappear

Google Chrome is among Android users' top browsers, trusted by billions around the world. It offers several features such as cross-platform sync and an integrated password manager, all backed by regular updates with support for emerging technologies like passkey authentication. However, several users dependent on Chrome's saved passwords on Windows machines were in for a harrowing experience this weekend, as all credentials seemingly disappeared. Google has since fixed the issue and issued an apology, but this incident shines light on the importance of keeping your browser updated.
