The settings menu on Chrome for Android is functional, though some people might feel that there are too many options laid out sometimes. On the latest stable version, one section in particular gets a simplification: Passwords and Autofill.

This change was initially spotted on Chrome Canary, and it’s now live for some people in the stable version. @Leopeva64 initially posted information about the simplified settings page on X, and you can view the post with the relevant images below.

The change that aims to simplify the Settings menu in Chrome for Android by merging the "Google Password Manager," "Payment methods," "Addresses and more," and "Autofill services" entries into a single "Autofill and passwords" section has begun rolling out to Chrome Stable: https://t.co/N23H2ygwbS pic.twitter.com/he6Rtw9RWw

However, I’m not sure whether this change is tied to a specific app version. The last update I got was on July 23 for Google Chrome, implying that the menu simplification might’ve rolled out on the server side, without the user needing to update Chrome.

On my device, the menu hasn’t changed. It still gives me the 4 options (Google Password Manager, Payment methods, Addresses and more, Autofill services) under “Passwords and Autofill.” I don’t see the new “Autofill and passwords” submenu under the Basics category.

If you’re on the latest version of Chrome and haven’t received it, Google is likely rolling out the update in batches. Not everyone will get it at the same time, and a wider rollout could take days or weeks. Once it rolls out, you can take a look at the image below to understand how it’ll look.

Clicking the new menu will expand into 6 different options. You’ll have the Passwords manager, Payments & Contact info, Identity docs, Travel, and Autofill settings, all in one place. It’s no longer laid out directly in the main settings menu, and all of the options have been moved to this submenu, presumably to declutter the experience of using Settings.

In other Chrome news, the browser will soon block the malware trick that can hold your New Tab page hostage. We covered that here.
