I'm not remotely versed in Apple OS. I just go w/ the instruction from places like youtube.
I'm helping this person dumping a 5 yr. old apple laptop to Windows 10 PC. His Safari software has a "Preference" section that saved all the password. And currently he can get into Gmail and read incoming mail via Safari.
So I go to Safari, check under accounts.google.com and it shows that password. Now let's say the pwd. is johndoe123
Using Google Chrome, i.e., either the Chrome on this old Apple laptop or the Chrome at the new Windows 10 PC, I go to gmail.com, and type in his gmail addr., and the above pwd: johndoe123
guess what? Chrome said the password is wrong
How can that be? Safari saved that password, I don't understand
