Google Chrome's ability to remember and autofill passwords is a convenient feature that saves time and improves security. However, there are times when Chrome fails to show saved passwords, leaving users frustrated and unable to access their login credentials. In this article, we'll explore some common causes of this problem and offer solutions to fix it.
One of the common reasons for Chrome's autofill not displaying saved passwords is due to cache and cookies. Clearing the cache and cookies can solve this problem. Here's how to do it:
1.Click on the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of Chrome.
2.Go to "More tools" and then click on "Clear browsing data."
3.Select "All time" as the time range and check the boxes next to "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files."
4.Click on "Clear data."
Another reason for Chrome's password manager not displaying saved passwords is due to the autofill feature being turned off. Here's how to enable it:
1.Open Chrome and go to Settings.
2.Click on "Autofill" in the left sidebar.
3.Make sure the "Passwords" toggle is turned on.
If the above solutions do not work, consider updating your Chrome browser. Sometimes, older versions of Chrome can have issues with the password manager. To update Chrome:
1.Click on the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of Chrome.
2.Go to "Help" and then click on "About Google Chrome."
3.Chrome will automatically check for updates and install them if available.
If you're having trouble viewing saved passwords in Google Chrome, there are several solutions to try. Clearing cache and cookies, enabling autofill, and updating Chrome are all effective ways to solve the problem.
By following these tips, you can get Chrome's password manager working again and enjoy the convenience and security of saved passwords.
