chromeGoogle Chrome, like majority of Web Browsers, has got among its options a nice and useful feature which prompts and allows  you to save your username and password once you sign-in a website or fill in a form. For some unknown reasons, Google Chrome, all of a sudden and without any warning may stop prompting you to save your passwords despite all the  options have been set in a correct way. This means that every time you have to sign-in a Internet service such as your email account for example, you will have to manually type your private information! Let’s see how to solve and fix this issue.

  1. If you have installed other browsers on your PC such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, run one of them by clicking their icons.
  2. Now, open the website Google Chrome doesn’t allow you to save your username and password. At this point the browser should ask you to save your private info. Click Yes.
  3. Now, open your Google Chrome.
  4. Click the spanner icon.
  5. Click Options.
  6. Click the Personal Stuff tab.
  7. Click the  Import Data from another browser button.
  8. In the from drop down menu, select select Internet Explorer or Firefox (depending on what browser you have just used)
  9. Tick the Saved Password check box and untick all the other options.
  10. Click the Import button.
  11. Done

    Sorry, but for one particular https: site I regularly access, that advice doesn’t work.

    I can see my username and password in Chrome’s “Show Saved Passwords” list, but it refuses to insert my password into the box on that site.

    I have a similar problem,

    everytime I visit a website it opens the bar asking me if I want to save the password, but despite selecting yes, it does not save it.

    I have tried emptying and re-importing, but it will not physically save the new passwords despite prompting to do so.

    I had a similar problem and was frustrated then I found a solution. Hope this might help you guys :
    1. Go to “Options”
    2. Go to “Under the Hood”
    3. Go to “Content Settings..”
    4. Under “Features” go to “Cookies”
    5. If the “Clear Cookies and other site data when I close my Browser” is checked just uncheck it and you are done.

    I hope this will help you guys solve your problem.

    often the problem is that chrome after certain time does not save the passwords or remembers logis….to avoid that, clear cookies first, then in settings un-select the option “delete cookies after every closing of chrome” and also download chrome extension “utility on”

    It worked for me, while all the other solutions I found didn’t, so thanks a bunch for sharing. The only difference is that between steps 2 and 3, you have to close Firefox, as Chrome won’t allow you to import while any Firefox window is open.

    For me, this procedure, using Firefox, fixed the failure to save passwords.
