The Manager Conflict
Google Chrome features a built-in password manager designed to securely store your credentials. By default, every single time you log into a new website, Chrome will aggressively throw a pop-up window down from the address bar asking, “Save password?” If you already use a dedicated, third-party password manager (such as 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass), this built-in feature is highly redundant and incredibly annoying. If you have two different password managers fighting over every login screen, you must permanently disable Chrome’s native save prompt to restore your workflow.
How to Turn Off Password Save Prompts
You can force Chrome to silently ignore your login credentials via the Password Manager settings.
- Open the Google Chrome desktop browser.
- Click the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top right corner and select Settings.
- In the left-hand sidebar, click on Autofill and passwords.
- In the main window, click on Google Password Manager.
- On the left side of the new Password Manager page, click on Settings.
- Locate the toggle switch labeled “Offer to save passwords.”
- Toggle this switch to the Off position (the grey position).
A Clean Login Experience
The change is instantaneous. Google Chrome will completely deactivate its internal credential interception engine. When you log into a new website or change an existing password, the browser will remain completely silent. It will never again ask to save your data, allowing your dedicated third-party password manager extension to handle the workflow completely uninterrupted.
