Can I force Google Chrome to remember passwords?

Is there a way to force Google Chrome to remember passwords for sites that have autocomplete turned off?

use the autocomplete=on extension. it changes 'autocomplete=off' to 'autocomplete=on' in web pages, so your passwords will be remembered.

"If you have a Password Manager extension installed, Chrome disables this internal feature if it detects such a Password Manager. Temporarily disabling the extension will allow you to use the built in mechanism.

Older answers which are now obsolete:
Chrome has native support for it: If you enable chrome://flags/#enable-password-force-saving then you can right click on the password field and instruct the browser to store it.
It's now been renamed to chrome://flags/#PasswordForceSaving (Chrome 65 and possibly some earlier versions)"

"In Chrome right click the desired field and ""Inspect element""

Change autocomplete=""off"" to autocomplete=""on""
Input data and submit the form
Chrome will ask you to remember the password
When you return, it may not display the password until after you attempt submitting once."

"Instead of relying on the webpage to support password saving, you can instead overwrite the whole page with an HTML form that is guaranteed to work:

Press Ctrl+Shift+I

Click on the ""Console"" tab

Paste the following JavaScript into the console and press Enter
document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].innerHTML='<form action=# method=post><input name=identifier><input type=password name=password><input type=submit></form>'

Important: Close the developer panel by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I again; otherwise your browser won't display the password save dialog.

Enter the username and password you want your browser to save, then click ""Submit"".

Your browser should then confirm if you would like to 'remember' these credentials.

"For some websites, Firefox will let you save the password where Chrome will not. So you can save the password in Firefox, and import it into Chrome.

In Chrome, go to Settings → Import bookmarks and settings
Select Mozilla Firefox
Uncheck everything except Saved passwords (check Autofill form data as well if you also want Chrome to autofill the username).
Click Import

These instructions are based on Chrome version 62.
