Stop Firefox, Zen, Chrome, Edge, Brave from Asking to Save Passwords
Password manager is a feature in modern web browsers that gives users the option to save login credentials (such as username and password). Whenever you log in to a website, the browser asks you if you want to save your password and username.
And if you click ‘Yes’ or ‘Save’, the browser saves the password in its password manager so it can be auto-filled when you log in again in the future. All this is possible thanks to the built-in password manager present in the browsers.
However, this feature is quite useful if you need to log in to a website regularly. But many users get annoyed by the browser repeatedly asking them to save the password. Luckily, you can stop Firefox, Zen, Chrome, Edge, and Brave browsers from asking you to save passwords. For this, just follow all the steps mentioned below.
