How can I manually add a password to Chrome password manager?

Super User Asked on December 27, 2021

How do I manually add a password to Chrome? For some reason, it doesn’t ask me if I want to save my password for a website after I log in. I think I answered No the first time that it asked me, and now it’s become a pain in the neck.

Ok, so this actually works on all the things. I stumbled across this by trial and error. I had a site that I signed up for under an alternate account, but wanted to access using my main account and save the PW/Username for.

  1. Logout
  2. Go to site's login form
  3. When Chrome/Google offers a suggested password, select that. This will add an entry to your passwords (although the incorrect password obviously.)
  4. Go to your google account to manage passwords.
  5. Search for and update to use the correct password.

Completely "manual" but works every time.

As stated here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PasswordCredential:

const cred = new PasswordCredential({
  id: id,
  password: password,
  name: name,
});

navigator.credentials.store(cred)
 .then(()  => {
   // Do something
 });

I came here looking for an answer but most seemed a bit hacky... I used this method instead, nice and easy...

  1. Use the export passwords option to get the CSV template.
  2. Delete everything in the CSV except the header row.
  3. Add the details in the second row with the details for the password to add.
  4. Import the CSV (might need to use the chrome://flags#PasswordImport flag to get the import option)

I tried a simple technique and it worked for the websites that never prompts you save passwords.

Go to the password setting page. follow the blue link : View and manage saved passwords in your Google Account

Click on the password option icon at the right side of the text "Password manager" Export the password.csv file. Open it in excel. Add your website, username and password according to the existing entries in the file. save it in the same .csv format. Go to that password setting in google account again. Import the edited .csv file. Refresh the webpage.

That's it. Now browse your desired website and see the id password are auto filled in.

Thanks.

If you want to save a password from a page where there is no password input field, you can simply add a password input field anywhere on the page and start writing into that field. Google Chrome then adds a small key icon into the navigation bar which allows you to store the password onto that domain.

How to add a password-input field into the page with the Chrome DevTools

  1. Go to your desired web site.
  2. Hit F12 on your keyboard to open the Google Chrome DevTools or right click on an element and click on Inspect.
  3. Select the tab Elements.
  4. Select any (small) HTML tag and hit F2 to edit it (or double-click).
  5. Append the following element: <input type="password">.
  6. Click on another HTML tag to save it.
  7. Enter some password into the newly created input field on the website.

At the moment there is a beta-feature which can be activated on the following chrome settings page: chrome://flags/#password-import-export

Import Passwords

It can be used to import a list of passwords.

Furthermore, I found this solution also on another question.

You can also change the passwords by pressing the view button near the link and change it.
Here is the pic for it below:

After that, you may change the password.

There is no direct way to add a password to Chrome without using third party software. If a website no longer asks you to save the password after selecting the "No" option, you can reset this choice in the settings.

To do this:

1: First open Chrome.

2: Then go in the password settings. Either copy/paste this link:

chrome://settings/passwords

Or click the three dots on the top right, and select settings in the drop down menu. Then select the first choice in the Autofill section: Passwords

3: On this page you will find a list called "Never Save". The website you cannot add will be in this list. Click on the X on the right to remove it.

4: Go back to the website you want to add a password to chrome (log off if needed) and then re-enter your credentials. Chrome will once more ask you if you want to save the password for this website.

Note: Be sure the "Offer to save passwords" choice is active in the passwords menu.
