Can I force Google Chrome to remember passwords?

Solution 1:

use the autocomplete=on extension. it changes 'autocomplete=off' to 'autocomplete=on' in web pages, so your passwords will be remembered.

Solution 2:

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:

1. Create a bookmark in your toolbar area by dragging the favicon from any website into that area.
2. Right-click that bookmark and choose Edit
3. Change the Name field to whatever you like
4. In the URL area, enter some javascript that will fill in the desired fields.
5. Click OK to save that.
6. 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.
