- IshKebab 5y agoIt is locally, but server side it is less obvious. They don't really say explicitly but this page strongly suggests that they are encrypted server-side too: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/10311524 https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/10311524
- shawnz 5y agoThat page is referring to their password breach detection feature though, not password sync. The sync pages have language which indicates that the encryption is only end-to-end if you use a passphrase. See: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop#passphrase https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139?hl=en&co=GEN... > With a passphrase, you can use Google's cloud to store and sync your Chrome data without letting Google read it. ... Passphrases are optional. Your synced data is always protected by encryption when it's in transit.
