Open Google Chrome. 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.- If you don’t have Chrome, download it free from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/ .
-
Enable the “Manage passwords” feature. 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 .
-
Enter your username and password and click Log In . 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?” -
Click Save . 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 .
