Google Smart Lock FAQ

You can sign in with your saved passwords on different devices using Smart Lock for Passwords. Smart Lock syncs your passwords to your Google Account when you're signed in on Chrome or on your Android. An app or site's password won't show up on other apps or sites.​

Apple iCloud Keychain FAQ

iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices that are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later.

iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your Mac computers. And when you sign in to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and your other Internet accounts, iCloud automatically adds your usernames and passwords to all of your devices.​
