Google Chrome has a built-in password manager that can generate or save passwords. Due to its password manager, you are able to use its autofill feature, which makes logging onto websites quicker.

The password manager is enabled by default, but if you’re unable to use it, you possibly have made some changes that are preventing the feature from functioning properly.

So, if Google Chrome doesn’t offer to save your password or if it’s not saving the passwords, here’s what you can do to resolve the problem.

1. Make sure the Password Saving is enabled

2. Check the app in the Declined Apps and Sites

It’s possible you’ve added the problem site to the Declined Apps and Sites list on the Google Password Manager.
