Chrome asks to save passwords by default after many logins. If you use another password manager, share a computer, or simply do not want the prompts, turn off the save-password setting in Google Password Manager.
Does this affect you?
Use this for Chrome on Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone when Chrome keeps asking to save passwords or autofilling logins you do not want it to use.
Turn off Chrome password manager on desktop
This stops save prompts on Windows and Mac.
- Click the three-dot menu in Chrome.
- Open Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager.
- Click the gear icon for Password Manager settings.
- Turn off Offer to save passwords.
- Turn off Auto Sign-in too if you do not want Chrome logging into sites with saved credentials automatically.
- Close the tab. The change applies immediately.
Turn it off on Android or iPhone
The same setting is in the mobile Chrome menu.
- Open Chrome on the phone.
- Tap the three-dot menu.
- Open Settings > Password Manager.
- Tap the gear or settings icon.
- Turn off Offer to save passwords.
- Turn off Auto sign-in if desired.
On iPhone, also check iOS Settings > Passwords > AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys if Chrome is selected as a system autofill provider.
More control
Existing passwords remain
Turning off Offer to save passwords does not delete passwords already stored. Remove existing entries from Google Password Manager if you do not want Chrome to keep them.
Block prompts for one site only
When Chrome asks to save a password, choose Never for this site if you want to stop prompts there while leaving password saving enabled elsewhere.
Google Account storage is separate
If you are signed into Chrome, saved passwords may sync through Google Password Manager. Turning off Chrome prompts does not erase passwords already stored in your Google Account.
