How to manage your Google Smart Lock account?

If you're looking to manage your Smart Lock account, assuming you change emails, you can do so quickly on both Android and Chrome.
Over time, for professional or business reasons, it is not uncommon for us to modify our main Google account. In this case, you'll have to manage your old Google Smart Lock account and set up the new one.
How to customize Google Smart Lock on your Android device?
Most users who use Google Smart Lock do so from their Android phones. Depending on the personalization layer of your Android device, the next steps may vary slightly. Likewise, they won't be so different that you can't customize Google Smart Lock.
Go to the Settings section of your Android smartphone and then select the Security section
Look for the Smart Lock feature under Lock screen or Advanced settings
In the Smart Lock menu, you will see several control options, which you will need to customize
There are three categories in total. You can't completely deactivate Smart Lock, but you can customize it as much as possible. You can also disable almost all functions so as not to interrupt you. It's almost like disabling it.
Body Detection: You can disable or activate this function from the switch
Trusted places: Set your trusted places, such as your home address
Trusted devices: Select trusted devices, such as your smart watch
Remove Smart Lock account 2
You can select trusted devices, such as your smart watch or headphones
In the future, Android may ask you to turn on some features again. You can listen to it, or reject the mobile phone request. Everything will depend on your goal and whether you need to activate it again.
What happens if these options don't appear? 😟
If these options don't appear on your Android device, perhaps because the manufacturer removed the customization layer, you'll have to customize Google Smart Lock from the Chrome browser. Don't worry, it's not difficult.
How to customize Google Smart Lock in Google Chrome?
Likewise, Google Smart Lock takes care of password management in Chrome. It's a different field, and generally simpler, but there can always be problems. The only advantage, so to speak, has to do with the fact that it works in a similar way to a password manager, where it is collected and saved.
The normal thing is to have problems when updating your Google account password, and Chrome usually gets confused when you update your password. In this case, you will have to resort to the Google browser.
On the other hand, it will help you if you are interested in deleting saved logins to increase the security of Smart Lock.
Go to your Google account passwords page and sign in if Google asks you to do so.
You will see all the websites and passwords for which Google has saved your logins (Google also informs you on this page which passwords may compromise your security)
Go to Google Account Passwords, and find the website whose password you are going to delete
Select it and click Delete to delete the information from this website
Make sure you will remove the password for this web page
Have you been able to manage or customize your Google Smart Lock account and passwords from your Android or Chrome device?
