    In Google Chrome, when I type something to an textbox, such as my email address or an username for a website, Chrome remembers it. The next time I log in to that website, I just type some first letter and a drop-down menu appears let me choose the data i want to type. But sometimes It doesn't work. How can I add a text I want for Chrome auto complete it. Funny, I know to remove an entry, just choose it and press "del"; but don't know how to add. Thanks for your help.

    You can do it by creating address profile.

    Go to google chrome settings ---> (scroll down) Show Advanced Settings ----> (scroll down) Under Passwords And Forms click Manage Auto Fill Settings ----> Add New Street Address ----> Enter required fields ----> Done :)

    Also you can create multiple address profiles too. The profile details will fill out automatically in almost forms.

    [ Ensure the Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click is ticked ]

    why don't you use KeePass Password Safe?

    it works with Google Chrome. much safer than storing passwords in a browser.

    Edit:

    KeePass features includes Auto-Type, Global Auto-Type Hot Key and Drag&Drop

    • KeePass can minimize itself and type the information of the currently selected entry into dialogs, webforms, etc. Of course, the typing-sequence is 100% user-customizable, read the documentation file for more.
    • KeePass features a global auto-type hot key. When KeePass is running in the background (with opened database) and you press the hot key, it looks up the correct entry and executes its auto-type sequence.
    • All fields, title, username, password, URL and notes can be drag&dropped into other windows.

    KeePass is free open source software, a portable version is available.

    If you're just looking for a secure password manager for Google Chrome, then I recommend the LastPass extension. However, if you're looking for a general purpose automatic form filler, then consider my Autofill extension.
