How to stop Google Chrome from asking you to save passwords in Windows

By default, Google Chrome offers to save your passwords. It prompts you every time you enter a password on a web page that asks for authentication and you hit ENTER or the login button. In the pop window, you can answer Never to the question “Save password?”.

This answer applies only to the current website where you are logging in. Google Chrome will no longer bother you with the question “Save password?”, but only on the current website. The question continues to appear when you log in to other websites.

To stop Google Chrome from asking the question “Save password?” on all websites, you need to turn this feature off, in the browser’s Settings. Open the “Customize and control Google Chrome” menu by clicking or tapping the three dots from the top-right corner of Google Chrome. In the menu, go to Settings.

In the Settings, the Passwords options are towards the top. Click or tap Passwords.

The Passwords settings display a toggle switch called “Offer to save passwords.” Click or tap on the toggle switch to set it to Off. Once it turns grey, the password saving feature is disabled.
