Can I force Google Chrome to remember passwords?
use the autocomplete=on extension. it changes 'autocomplete=off' to 'autocomplete=on' in web pages, so your passwords will be remembered.
Workaround: use a bookmarklet
This is not really a solution, but you can hack a workaround for this if you know a little Javascript by making a bookmarklet that fills out the username and password fields. This would work:
- Create a bookmark in your toolbar area by dragging the favicon from any website into that area.
- Right-click that bookmark and choose Edit
- Change the Name field to whatever you like
- In the URL area, enter some javascript that will fill in the desired fields.
- Click OK to save that.
- Now you can click that bookmarklet to fill those fields
For example, if the page you want to fill in has fields with IDs of 'user_name' and 'password', this javascript would fill them with whatever you define near the beginning.
javascript:function%20enterLogin(){username="your_username";password="your_password";document.getElementById('user_name').value=username;y=document.getElementById('password').value=password;}enterLogin();
This is not secure at all, of course, if anyone you don't trust may open your browser; they can click to edit this and see your login info.
But it's not much worse than having the browser remember your passwords if it doesn't use a master password to encrypt them; some digging around in the menus will let you view those. And anyway, you shouldn't let people you don't trust use your computer.
Chrome has native support for it: If you enable chrome://flags/#enable-password-force-saving
It's now been renamed to chrome://flags/#PasswordForceSaving (Chrome 65 and possibly some earlier versions)
If you have a Password Manager extension installed, Chrome may disable this internal feature if it detects such a Password Manager. Temporarily disabling the extension will allow you to use this built in mechanism.
