The Persistent Prompt
Google Chrome includes a built-in password manager designed to make logging into websites faster. By default, every time you enter a new username and password on a website and click the login button, Chrome intercepts the action. A small prompt automatically drops down from the address bar (usually shaped like a key) asking, “Do you want Google Chrome to save your password for this site?” While convenient for some, if you use a dedicated, more secure third-party password manager (like Bitwarden or 1Password), this constant Chrome pop-up is redundant, annoying, and can lead to you accidentally saving credentials in two different databases.
Disabling Password Offers
To rely solely on your preferred security tools and stop Google Chrome from automatically asking to save your passwords, you must turn off the offer feature within the browser’s Autofill settings.
Open Google Chrome. Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the window and select Settings. In the left-hand navigation menu, click on Autofill and passwords. In the main central panel, click on Google Password Manager. This will open a new tab dedicated to the manager. In this new tab, look at the left-hand menu and click on Settings. The very first option at the top of this page is Offer to save passwords. Click the toggle switch next to this option so that it turns grey (Off). Chrome will immediately stop prompting you when you log into new websites, leaving the task entirely to your third-party extension.
