    You will typically find it in the Windows/Start menu (PC) or the Applications folder (Mac). Google Chrome comes with Smart Lock, a feature that saves your username and password while keeping you logged in.

    This setting is usually on by default, but it’s a good idea to check before you continue. Here’s how:
    • Click ⁝ at the top-right corner of Chrome.
    • Click Settings .
    • Scroll down and click Advanced .
    • Slide the “Manage passwords” switch to the On (blue) position.
    • Click the x on the Settings tab to close your settings.

    Type https://www.facebook.com into the address bar and press ↵ Enter . This brings you to the Facebook sign-in screen.
    • If you’re currently logged in, you must log out before you continue. To do so, click the downward-pointing arrow near the top-right corner of the screen, then click Log out .

    This signs you into your account. You will also see a pop-up window that says “Do you want Google Smart Lock to save your password for this site?”
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Stay-Logged-in-on-Facebook-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Stay-Logged-in-on-Facebook-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Stay-Logged-in-on-Facebook-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5.jpg\/aid9269154-v4-728px-Stay-Logged-in-on-Facebook-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":548,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Now that your password is saved, Smart Lock will automatically save your account information and keep you logged in until you sign out.
    • If you are somehow signed out anyway, you still won’t have to enter your username and password to sign back in—just click your profile photo on the sign-in screen, then click Log in .
