View saved passwords in Chrome browser on PC

How many passwords can you remember? Passwords are usually very complicate and difficult to remember. To help people with that, many web browsers have the function to remember or save our passwords so we don’t have to. When you sign into a website with username and password, your browser will ask whether to save the password or not. If you said yes, your browser will save the password on your computer so you can directly log in to the same site or account using the saved username/password without the need to remember or even manually type in it.
