Chrome Saved Passwords Disappeared Troubleshooting

There are a number of troubleshooting steps you may do to address the issue when your saved passwords in Chrome disappear. Here are some effective methods to get your passwords back that you saved.

Way 1. Check Sync Settings

First, confirm that the synchronization mechanism in Chrome is set up correctly. Sync issues typically cause problems with saved passwords.

Step 1. Select "Settings" from Chrome's three-dot menu in the upper right. Select "You and Google" from Settings' left sidebar.

Step 2. Go to "Sync and Google services" > "Sync" > "Manage what you sync."

Step 3. Ensure that "Passwords and passkeys" is activated. Or, you can choose to toggle on "Sync everything."

Way 2. Check Password Settings

Another factor that can cause passwords to disappear is incorrect password setup. Verify that passwords are being saved in Chrome.

Step 1. Launch Chrome and click the top-right three-dot menu. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu and "Autofill and passwords" from the left sidebar after swiping down.

Step 2. Go to "Google Password Manager" > "Settings." If your Google is not saving passwords, verify that the option "Offer to save passwords" is on.

Step 3. You can also select "Checkup" to check if your passwords are still available.

Step 4. If you can't locate them, try manually adding them by clicking "Add" in the Passwords tab.

Way 3. Log out and Log in again

Occasionally, merely logging out and back into your Google account can resolve sync problems that lead to your stored passwords disappearing.

Step 1. In Google Chrome, click on your profile icon located in the top right corner of the browser window.

Step 2. Select "Sign out." If you have sync enabled, you may need to turn off sync first by clicking on "Sync is on" and then selecting "Turn off" in the new window before signing out.

Step 3. After closing Chrome, open it and sign in to your Google account again.

Verify that sync is enabled and check whether your passwords have been restored.

Way 4. Allow Google Chrome to Keep Local Data

By allowing Chrome to preserve local data, you can prevent losing your passwords when you close the browser.

Step 1. Choose "Settings" from the Chrome dropdown menu.

Step 2. Scroll down and pick "Privacy and security" on the left sidebar.

Step 3. Select "Cookies and other site data."

Step 4. Check that "Keep local data only until you quit your browser" is not enabled. Instead, choose "Allow websites to save and read cookie data."

Step 5. Restart Chrome and see if your saved passwords are still being retained.

Following these troubleshooting methods will frequently cure difficulties with Chrome's missing stored passwords.

Way 5. Check Chrome Update

One of several drawbacks of an outdated version of Chrome is trouble saving passwords. View whether your browser is current.

Step 1. Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of Chrome after opening it.

Step 2. Select "Help" > "About Google Chrome."

Step 3. Chrome will update itself automatically. The update will start downloading if one is available.

FAQs on Chrome Saved Passwords Disappeared 

Follow this FAQ section to find answers to your queries regarding why your saved passwords disappeared. Answers to popular questions follow.

1. Why did Google delete all my saved passwords?

Google seldom deletes saved passwords without user intervention. However, various situations can cause erased passwords:

• Browser Updates: Updates for Chrome can occasionally result in brief issues with passwords you've saved.
• Sync Issues: Problems with Chrome's synchronization system could prevent users from saving or retrieving passwords between devices.
• User profile corruption: Passwords and other saved data can be lost due to corrupted user profiles.
• The antivirus or cleaning software impact: Chrome's capacity to save or recover passwords may be hampered by specific security or system optimization programs.
• Accidental User Actions: Passwords saved may also be lost due to accidental deletions or changes to settings.

2. Why is Chrome no longer autofilling passwords?

Chrome may not be autofilling passwords due to issues with sync settings, conflicts with browser extensions, outdated versions, incorrect autofill settings, or site-specific restrictions.

3. Can I trust Google to save my passwords?

Google's robust encryption protects the passwords you save on your device and on its servers, so you can trust it to save them. Google uses two-factor authentication (2FA) and security warnings to protect your saved passwords. Chrome's sync function securely syncs credentials across Google-logged devices. Google's Password Checkup service warns you if any saved passwords are weak or compromised, helping you keep them strong. Google updates Chrome and its password management tools to fix security issues and boost security. Use strong, unique passwords for each account, enable 2FA, and routinely verify your saved passwords and settings to maximize security. Google's password manager is secure, but essential security habits protect your passwords best.
