Reasons: Why is Chrome Not Saving Passwords?

It's an abnormal case that Google Chrome is not remembering passwords for any website on computers running Windows 10/8/7/XP/Vista or macOS X/Sierra/High Sierra, or Android, or iPhone. However, there are several potential culprits that should be blamed here. If not sure which is the main cause in your case, check it out.

 

1. Your account is not properly syncing with Google server.
2. This is due to an unexpected glitch, especially after a recent software update.
3. Your network connection is too slow to send or receive information to/from Google.

 

There are FIVE workable approaches to get this trouble fixed for Win/Mac and Android/iPhone. Please give it a try on the following solutions one by one.

 

 

Solution 1: Re-log in Your Google Account

If Chrome is having trouble syncing with your account, a feasible quick fix is to sign out and then sign in Google account.

• For Win/Mac user, go to "┆" and click the "SIGN OUT" button behind your account. Then, log in after a while.
• For Android/iPhone user, go to "┆" > "Settings". Next. Tap on your account and select "Remove account from this device" at the bottom. Then, click "REMOVE". Don't forget to log in after that.

 

 

Solution 2: Reset Sync

Another workable solution is to reset your syncing data. However, you should know that this will not delete you present saved passwords or something. To reset syncing data, click this link "https://chrome.google.com/sync" to redirect to the Sync page on both desktop and mobile. Then, scroll/swipe down to the "RESET SYNC" button. After that, sign back in to Chrome to start syncing again.

 

 

Solution 3: Manage Passwords in Google

You should navigate to the "Manage passwords" page in Chrome at first. (Win/Mac: "┆" > "Settings" > "Advanced" or Mobile: "┆" > "Settings" > "Save Passwords") You should make sure "Auto Sign-in"/"Save Passwords" has been toggled on currently.

 

 

Solution 4: Reset Chrome Settings

To reset Chrome settings to original defaults is also an idea worth trying. However, this operation is only applicable to Windows and Mac. Please follow the path to reset settings in Chrome.

• Win/Mac: Open "┆" > "Settings" > "Advanced" and scroll down to the bottom. Then, click "Reset" and continue with "RESET".

 

 

Solution 5: Clear Browsing Data

Somehow overmuch cache leads to annoying troubles. Sometimes, it may get wrong with Chrome password manager. Therefore, it's recommended to try clearing up browsing cache in computers or mobile phones. Here's how:

• Win/Mac: Go to "┆" > "More tools" > "Clear browsing data".
• Android/iPhone: Go to "┆" > "History" > "Clear Browsing Data".
