How to Stop Chrome From Offering to Save Passwords

Tap through the steps to turn off Chrome's password-saving prompts.

  1. Open Chrome settings

    Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select "Settings."

  2. Find the password manager menu

    Go to "Autofill and passwords" β†’ "Password Manager."

  3. Turn off "Offer to save passwords"

    Switching off this option stops Chrome from popping up a save prompt every time you log into a site.

  4. Delete passwords already saved

    From the password manager list, you can remove individual entries one at a time or clear everything at once.

  5. Be extra careful on shared computers

    On a computer used by multiple people, turning off password saving entirely is the safer choice for protecting your personal information.

This matters most on shared or public computers

If Chrome constantly asking whether to save your password is annoying, or you're using a computer shared with others, turning off the feature entirely is the safer option for your privacy.

Managing logins without a built-in manager

A dedicated password manager app can store your credentials encrypted, independently of your browser, if you would rather not rely on Chrome for this at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I turn off saving, will already-saved passwords still autofill?

Yes, passwords that were saved before you turned this off will still be used for autofill. To remove them entirely, you need to delete them separately from the password manager.

How can I manage logins securely without a password manager?

A dedicated password manager app can encrypt and store your credentials independently of your browser, which keeps them safe even if you clear your browser data.
