How to Force Google Chrome to Save a Password

Passwords. We all have them. Many of them because more and more websites ask you to create a profile and log in, especially those that need your personal information, such as social networks or shopping sites.

The more passwords we have, the harder it becomes to remember which password is for which site and what the password is.

To make our lives easier, Chrome offers an autofill feature that saves passwords to these sites and then autofills the information each time we log in. No need to remember multiple passwords.

However, you may find that this autofill feature doesn't always show up when you need to save a new password. This guide will show you how to get Chrome to save your passwords for sites on various devices.

How to Force Chrome to Save a Site's Password on a Windows PC

There are several reasons why Chrome doesn't save your passwords when you access a new site on your Windows PC. Let's take a look at these and how to fix them:

Your "Save passwords" option is unchecked

An unchecked "Save Password" option is the most common reason Chrome won't save your passwords on your Windows PC. Fixing this problem is simple if you follow these quick steps:

1. Open your Chrome browser on your computer.
   
2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
   
3. From the context menu, choose “Settings”.
   
4. Scroll down and under the 'Autofill' heading, select the 'Passwords' option.
   
5. Make sure the “Offer to save passwords” option is checked. Once you've done that, the slider should turn blue.
   
6. You can now close your browser's "Settings" tab.
   

Your Chrome browser will now ask you if you want to save your password when you log in to a new website.

Another way to enable this feature is by using your Google account. Here's how:

1. In the browser bar at the top of your Google homepage, type: "passwords.google.com" and press "Enter".
   
2. The "Password Manager" page will open. From there, click the gear icon at the top right of the page.
   
3. A “Settings” menu will open. Choose the “Offer to save passwords” option by sliding the toggle to the right. Once selected, it should turn blue.
   
4. You can now close this tab on your browser.
   

Remove “Never Save” Sites

Chrome gives you the option to never save your login information for a particular site. This option comes in the form of a pop-up that asks if you want to save the login details or never save them. If you choose the "Never save" option, Chrome will no longer ask you if you are going to save the password for this site, even if password saving is enabled. Here's how to reverse the "Never save" option so you can save your password for this website:

1. Open your Chrome browser on your computer.
   
2. Navigate to the three-dot icon at the top right of the page and click on it.
   
3. In the menu that appears, choose “Settings”, then select “Passwords”, which you will find under the heading “Autofill”.
   
4. Scroll down until you find the "Never Registered" menu.
   
5. Here you will see a list of all the websites you have selected as "Never save".
   
6. Scroll through the list until you find the relevant website and click the "X" next to it to remove it from the list.
   
7. You can now close this tab in your browser.
   

Now that you've removed the website from this list, Chrome will ask you if you want to save the password the next time you log in to the site.

Sites that don't allow you to save passwords

Another reason why Chrome might not ask you if you want to save a password for a site is because some sites don't allow you to save your password as a security measure. For example, banking websites prevent saving passwords. However, there is a way around this.

Here's how to start:

1. Open your Chrome browser.
   
2. In the address bar, type: "chrome://flags/#enable-password-force-saving", then press "Enter".
   
3. Choose "Enabled" from the drop-down menu under the "Force saving passwords" option.
   
4. Navigate to the bottom right of the page and click the blue "Relaunch" button.
   
5. Now reopen your Chrome browser.
6. Go to the website that usually prevents the "Save Password" pop-up and log in to your account.
   
7. Before logging in, right-click in the password box and choose the “Save Password” option.
   
8. Chrome should now automatically enter your password for this page.

Although this option is convenient, we do not recommend using it; many sites have this protocol to protect you and your account security for a reason.
