Where to look for passwords in Google on Xiaomi phone: all the ways for Android

You forgot your password from a social network, email or online bank, but remember exactly that you saved it to Google on your Xiaomi smartphone? Don’t rush to reset your account or restore access – most likely, your data is already synchronized with the system. In this article, we will analyze where Google passwords are stored on Xiaomi phones (including Redmi, POCO and Black Shark models), how to find them through the browser, MIUI settings or the web version of the account, and discuss the nuances of security.

It’s important to understand that Xiaomi uses its own MIUI shell, which sometimes modifies standard Android features. For example, in some firmware, the password management menu can be hidden deeper than in “pure” Android. We took these features into account and collected current methods for all versions of MIUI 12-14 and HyperOS (2026). If you use third-party browsers like Mi Browser or Chrome, the instructions will also fit – as long as you are logged in to the same Google account.

Warn in advance: Access to saved passwords requires proof of identity (PIN-If you don't remember the data to unlock the screen, first restore it through Find My Device or i.mi.com.

1. How to view passwords through the Chrome browser on Xiaomi

The most versatile way is to use Google Chrome's built-in password manager, which works on all Xiaomi smartphones, regardless of the MIUI version, and syncs data between devices. Here's how to get there:

1. Open Chrome (if not, install it from Google Play).
2. Slip on the three dots in the upper right corner → select Settings.
3. Go to the Passwords section (may be called Password Management in older versions).
4. Enter. PIN-code.
5. You'll see a list of sites with logins and passwords saved, and to see the password, tap it in the eye.

If the list is empty, check:

• 🔹 Sync: Go to Google Settings → Account management → Synchronize and enable the password option.
• 🔹 Autocomplete: In Chrome settings, save passwords should be active.
• 🔹 Browser default: If you used Mi Browser, passwords could be saved there (more on this in the next section).

💡

If you don't see the site you want, try manually entering its address in Chrome and waiting for the suggestion to save the password. Sometimes the system "forgets" to add data on the first login.

On Xiaomi with MIUI 14 and HyperOS, the path may be slightly different due to customization of the interface. For example, in some firmware, the password section is hidden in Settings → Google → Managing Google Account. If you don’t, search by settings (the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen).

2. Passwords in Mi Browser: where to look on Xiaomi

Many Xiaomi users prefer the Mi Browser browser instead of Chrome, which also saves passwords, but stores them separately from Google.

1. Open Mi Browser.
2. Put three points on it. → Settings.
3. Choose Privacy and Security → Password management.
4. Confirm your identity with biometrics or PIN-code.

Here you'll see a list of sites that have stored data. Note that the passwords in the Mi Browser don't sync with Google, they're only tied to this device, and if you reset your phone to factory settings, you lose access to them.

If you use both browsers (Chrome and Mi Browser), passwords can be duplicated or stored in only one of them. To avoid confusion, choose one manager and disable save in the other.

Settings → Passwords → Autocomplete → Disable “Saving Passwords”

3. Viewing passwords through a Google account (web version)

If you don’t have access to your phone or want to manage passwords from your computer, use the web version of your Google account, which works for all Android devices, including Xiaomi, and allows you to:

• 🔍 View all saved passwords.
• 🔄 Export them to CSV-file (in case of backup).
• 🗑️ Remove outdated data.

Instructions:

1. Open a browser on any device and go to passwords.google.com.
2. Sign up with the same Google account as you do on Xiaomi.
3. Enter your account password (if two-factor authentication is enabled, confirm your login via SMS or Google Authenticator app).
4. You'll see a complete list of saved passwords. To see a specific one, click on the website → eyewitness next to the password field.

This is a great way to do it if you want to transfer passwords to a new phone or check what data is stored in the cloud, but remember, if you delete the password here, it will disappear on all synced devices.

4.Where passwords are stored in MIUI settings

The MIUI shell has its own account management section, but it doesn't work on all Xiaomi models, which typically displays passwords from Wi-Fi networks, applications and some system services.

1. Open the phone settings.
2. Go to Passwords and Security (on some devices, this section is called Security or Privacy).
3. Select Password Management or Account Storage.
4. Confirm access using biometrics.

Here you can see:

If you don’t have a password management section, your version of MIUI doesn’t support this feature, so use the methods in the previous sections (Chrome or Google account).

💡

On Xiaomi HyperOS phones (2026), the Password Management section may be called “Storage of credentials” and be in the “Additional” submenu inside the security settings.

5. Alternative ways: Third-party password managers

If you don't trust Google's built-in tools or MIUI, you can use third-party password managers, which offer additional features like complex password generation, leak checks, and cross-platform synchronization. Popular options for Xiaomi:

• 🔐 1Password — It's a paid trial, but it's free, it supports biometric authentication.
• 🔐 Bitwarden – open source, free tariff with basic features.
• 🔐 KeePassDX – Local Storage (Passwords do not go to the cloud).
• 🔐 LastPass is a user-friendly interface, but there were problems with data leaks in 2022-2023.

To transfer passwords from Google to a third-party manager:

1. Export data from passwords.google.com (click on three-points → Export passwords).
2. Download the.csv file to your phone.
3. Import it to the selected manager (most apps have the option of importing from CSV).

🔹 Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) managerial

🔹 Don't keep it. CSV-Password file on the phone after import

🔹 Use a unique master password (at least 12 characters)

🔹 Turn off autocomplete for critical services (banks, crypto exchanges)-->

On Xiaomi with MIUI, some managers (like Bitwarden) may conflict with system autocomplete. To fix this, go to Settings → System → Language and Input → Additional → Autocomplete and select your manager as the default service.
