How to make Chrome not show autofill passwords in Settings?

    Go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Passwords and forms -> Managed saved passwords. Click on one of the saved passwords and click "show". It just shows it. What's the point of hiding it on web forms then? Is there a way to secure my passwords so people can't just jump on my Mac and grab them? Keychain Access asks for your admin password to show saved passwords, that seems like common sense.

    I have to do a lot of loggin in on webpages and I like that firefox autofills in my passwords, once it knows them...

    How can I achieve the same for google chrome?

    I have read this post, installed the autofill=true extension but that does not do the job...

    Thanks!

    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.
