How to Disable Chrome’s Built-in Password Manager

Google Chrome has a built-in password manager that offers to save your passwords for websites. If you use a third-party password manager like Bitdefender SecurePass or don’t want Google Chrome storing your passwords, you can turn off this feature.

 

Follow these steps to stop Chrome’s password-saving prompts on your Windows or Mac computer.

Step 1: Open Google Password Manager

  1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.
  2. Click on the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of the browser.
  3. From the dropdown menu select Autofill and passwords, then click on Google Password Manager.

Step 2: Disable “Offer to save passwords and passkeys”

  1. In the Google Password Manager menu, click on Settings on the left sidebar.
  2. Turn off the option Offer to save passwords and passkeys to disable Google Password Manager.
  3. Close the Google Password Manager tab. Chrome will automatically save your changes.
  • If you can’t find the “Offer to save passwords and passkeys” option, go to chrome://password-manager/settings in the address bar.

After making these changes, Google Chrome will no longer ask to save your passwords. You can now use your preferred password manager without interference.
