How to Secure Chrome Sync With a Custom Sync Passphrase
Chrome’s cross-device sync feature is one of the things that makes it so popular, but it’s not without problems. You may not like Google having all your browser data, for example. Thankfully, you can encrypt your synced data by adding a passcode.
Here’s all the information that Chrome saves to your Google account with sync enabled:
- Bookmarks
- History and open tabs
- Passwords
- Payment info
- Names, addresses, and phone numbers
- Settings and preferences
This data is all backed up to your Google account, which means that the search giant has access to it as well. You can create a Sync Passphrase to encrypt this data so that Google can’t read it.
