New to Chromebook: very basic question

I've always been a Mac user, but I just bought a Chromebook for RV travel. I'm getting the hang of it, but I have a few basic questions.

When I turn it on, it wants me to enter my (complicated) Google password. I would like to turn that off (which I can on my Macs), since it will be used in the RV and there are no kids, relatives, co-workers, etc., to look at my (boring) emails.

Another question: can the Chrome browser have more than one window open? (I don't see menus -- "file", "edit", "view",... -- that I am accustomed to when I use Chrome on my Mac.)

If you just close the lid, you do not have to log back in. You might have to adjust the settings to do this. Go to the lower right of your screen and click on the time. Then click on the gear at the top part of the menu that pops up, then it will be under Device, then Power.

This will work fine for short time use, but obviously will not work if it sits for long periods of time.

You do not usually need to have more than one "window" open, it is all done with the tabs. The other menus aren't there, and usually not needed. Remember to right click if there is something you are trying to do that you would have used those menus. Many things are automatically backed up as you work. I don't remember if using word processing or spreadsheets automatically back up when you are using them offline. I haven't done that in quite s while.

Now I have to get off my Chromebook and go do some things on a clunky Windows machine. There are some things the Chromebooks can't do, like run Windows or Mac programs.
