Chrome doesn't update saved passwords

Chrome has always saved my passwords and then prefilled forms. This is still working - except that if I change a password after Chrome as auto filled it then Chrome won't remember the new password. How can you get Chrome to save the latest password?

Currently on version 42.0.n

I was having the same problem for quite a long time now, until today, when I finally decided to do something about it. Most of the solutions/answers I came across recommended installing external software, or other complicated things. Then I decided to look under the hood itself.

Go to Chrome Settings, scroll down to Show Advanced Settings, scroll down again to the section Passwords and Forms. There should be an option - "Offer to save your web passwords". Ensure that the box next to it is checked.

For some reason, this box was unchecked in my settings. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but once I checked this box, for every password update I made, I would see the pop-up box "Do you want to save this password...."

Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend installing any third party software. Simply navigate to the appropriate place in the settings page of Chrome.

• Settings
• Show advanced settings (bottom of page)
• Under passwords and forms
• Manage passwords
• Just delete the password for the respective site and next time you log on it will prompt you to save the new one.

As of 1-jan-2021 (chrome v87.0.4280.88) the setting is called "offer to save passwords". Open settings; search for that text. Drill into to Passwords. Enable the option.

By the time you are reading this it may be have changed again ... probably has :(

... uh oh, just changed again :)
