Save Passwords on Chrome for Desktop
To enable Chrome’s password manager on your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, first, open Chrome on your computer.
In Chrome’s top-right corner, click the three dots.
From the three-dots menu, select “Settings.”
On the “Settings” page, in the left sidebar, click “Autofill.”
In the “Autofill” section on the right, click “Passwords.”
At the top of the “Passwords” page, enable the “Offer to Save Passwords” option.
Tip: In the future, if you decide you don’t want password prompts from Chrome, turn off the “Offer to Save Passwords” option again.
And that’s it. From now on, when you log in to a site in Chrome on any of your devices, the browser will ask you to save your password for that site. You can then also manually view the saved passwords in Chrome.
Save Passwords on Chrome for Mobile
To get Chrome on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device to offer to save passwords, open Chrome on your phone.
Tap the three dots in Chrome on your phone. If you are on Android, these dots are in Chrome’s top-right corner. If you are on an iPhone or iPad, you will find these dots in the bottom-right corner.
In the three-dots menu that opens, tap “Settings.”
On the “Settings” page, in the “Basics” section, tap “Passwords.”
On the “Passwords” page, toggle on the “Save Passwords” option.
And that’s all. If you ever want, you can delete the saved passwords in Chrome on your devices.
Save Passwords on Chrome Using the Password Manager Site
The third way to enable Chrome to save your site passwords is to toggle on an option on Google’s Password Manager site. The advantage of this option is that it allows you to activate the feature even while you’re using a browser other than Chrome.
To use this method, open a web browser on your device and access the Google Password Manager site. Log in to the site with the same Google account that you use in Chrome.
When the Password Manager site opens, in the top-right corner, click “Password Options” (a gear icon).
You will land on a “Settings” page. Here, at the top, turn on the “Offer to Save Passwords” option.
You’re all set.
From now on, no matter what method you used above, Chrome will start prompting you to save passwords on all your signed-in devices. Very handy!
