Google Chrome lets you sync your browser data such as bookmarks, extensions, history, passwords, form data and preferences with Chrome browser on other computers and mobile devices. It is quite useful when installing Chrome on a new device or reinstalling it on an existing system. However, after syncing data, it is very important to make sure that all your synced data is secure online.

Google Chrome encrypts your password during synchronization, but if you want more security, you need to encrypt all your synced data. In addition, for added security, you may need to clear your synced data from Google servers.
