Password Manager is the best tool to manage different passwords for the same account easily. For this reason, Google has an auto-fill feature that lets the user automatically enter their saved password. But some more password manager services are available, like LastPass, Samsung Pass, and more.

Even with such options, it is always hard to configure the default password manager from different choices. However, once someone considers a specific password manager, the problem is that they do not know how to make it default. For such a reason, we have prepared this guide to help you.

How do I change my autofill settings?

As the name suggests, Autofill is an easy-to-use feature that lets users log in to their accounts with a single tap. Password manager services store your passwords and save them to the cloud. So that you can access your account from anywhere. However, the issue arises when we think about changing such settings.

We know that there are many third-party password management services available. But we cannot easily trust them. Although, for an Android user, we recommend using Google’s Password Manager under Chrome. Users who trust Google and its security can also use its password manager.

Moreover, suppose someone has pre-decided to change from a third-party password manager to his own. In that case, he faces many difficulties because he doesn’t know how to change them. For that purpose, below are some instructions to help you change your autofill settings.

  • Head over to your device settings.
  • Scroll down and tap on the General Management section.
  • Then, tap on Passwords and Autofill.
  • Under Autofill Service, tap on the active service.
  • Now, select the service that you have pre-decided on.
  • Confirm your trust in the chosen password manager service.
  • That’s it, and your autofill settings have now changed.

Besides that, there can be multiple paths to change autofill settings. But the end point of every path will end at the autofill service. So, whether you use any Android device, always reach the Autofill service option and proceed the same as above.

Concludingly, there are several password management services available. It depends on you and your faith in a certain service. But if I have committed to using a specific password manager service, then proceed with the above instructions. So, if any user has queries, feel free to ask them in the below section.
