How to Force Google Chrome to Save Passwords on Websites That Block It

Google Chrome has a highly convenient built-in password manager. However, you have likely encountered specific websites—often banking portals or enterprise logins—where Chrome simply refuses to offer the “Save Password” prompt.

This happens because the website developers have added a specific line of code to the login form, intentionally instructing your browser to ignore the password fields for security reasons. If you are using a secure personal computer, this restriction can be incredibly frustrating.

Method 1: Use the Chrome Inspect Tool

The safest way to force Chrome to save your password is to temporarily remove the restriction from the website’s code before you log in.

1. Right-click on the Username or Password field on the stubborn website and select Inspect.
2. The Chrome Developer Tools panel will open, highlighting a specific line of HTML code.
3. Look for the text that says autocomplete="off" within that highlighted line.
4. Double-click on the word off and change it to on, then press Enter.
5. Close the Developer Tools panel.

Now, type your username and password and hit login. Chrome will no longer see the restriction and will prompt you to save the credentials as usual.

Method 2: Use a Dedicated Password Manager

If you do not want to inspect code every time, the long-term solution is to switch away from Chrome’s built-in password manager. Dedicated third-party password managers use browser extensions that aggressively inject credentials into fields, completely ignoring the website’s HTML restrictions.
