Chrome for Android Eases Mobile Headaches With Password, Form Syncing

Wired  

Google has updated the stable channel of Chrome for Android to Chrome 26, which offers two new syncing features designed to save you a bit of time on mobile devices. This release has two noteworthy features – password syncing and form autofill syncing. Even if you prefer not to have Chrome store your passwords for you, the form autofill syncing is equally handy – especially given how tedious it can be to fill out forms using your mobile device's tiny keyboard. Like all of Chrome's syncing features, you'll need to be signed into your Google account to use the new password and autofill sync.
