We need to sign into different accounts using Android phones, each with a unique username and password. Obviously, if there is one account, we can manage it, but the situation becomes more complicated when there are multiple accounts. In the beginning, this was a small problem. However, many of the apps were developed in such a way that even running them in a browser looks quite pleasant.

According to the last activities, most Android users have lost their usernames and password. Ultimately, they regretted making so many accounts. But frankly speaking, it is not your issue. You can still get them back on your phone. All you need is a basic understanding of how Android works to save your password. So, here we will discuss how to retrieve lost credentials.

How to recover lost Usernames and Passwords of Android Apps?

Logging into different apps or services is possible in two different ways. When a service like Facebook is available via the web, you can download it from the app or browser. For such purposes, most browsers and a few apps allow you to save your password and username. However, I understand you still need to enable the password to keep prompt. So, let’s assume you have lost the password of a service you use on your browser and are now trying to retrieve it. Follow these steps to get it back.

Note: Since all these things are associated with your Google Account, we explain them using Google Chrome. Meanwhile, make sure your Google account is linked to your browser.

  1. Simply open Google Chrome on your phone.
  2. Tap on the three dots option appearing in the top right corner.
  3. From there, select Settings >> Password Manager.
  4. Following this, you will see four options for password management.

  2. That’s it; your account will soon recover.

Additionally, Google Chrome allows users to automatically sign in to apps. The name of this feature is “Auto Sign-in,” which eliminates the need to confirm our saved passwords on sites and apps. All you need to do is enable the Auto sign-in feature on your Chrome browser. Follow these steps to do it if you don’t know how.

  1. Open Google Chrome on your phone.
  2. In the top right corner, tap on the three dots menu.

Moreover, this is the easiest way to retrieve your lost password if you run that service through a browser. What can we do if we forget the password and username of a dedicated Android application? Listen, Android apps like Facebook and Instagram allow you to save your credentials. Alternatively, you can tap the forget password button and retrieve it as usual. Or you can check which social app you use to log in to Android apps. If you need help finding it, follow these steps.

  1. Visit the Google Connect Apps page.
  2. Then scroll down to the app for which you want to sign in.
