Windows 10: Replace Google Chrome password manager password authentication with Windows Hello

Hi guys, this is my first time asking here, I'll be glad to provide more details if necessary. Currently running Windows 11 Pro version 22H2, OS build 22621.674, on an Intel Core i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.30 GHz 16.0 GB and Google Chrome Version 107.0.5304.88 Official Build 64-bit.So I use the Chrome password manager and on other devices I can just access passwords by authenticating with Windows Hello fingerprint or PIN. But on this device I can only show passwords using the Windows account password. When I first got this computer I had to go to Local Group Policy Editor to unlock Wind

:)

 

Google Chrome ask for Windows 10 password to view Chrome passwords.

Hello Dennis18_Se,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, respond to the questions listed below:

1. Are you using a Microsoft account or a Local account in sign in to that account?
   
2. May I know if your computer is connected to a Domain (organization) network?
   
3. Are you able to access websites using other web browsers?
   

Google Chrome will save login usernames and passwords and will automatically complete the sign-in fields for you the next time you visit the websites. It’s a good security measure added by Chrome.

If you do not want Chrome to ask for your Windows login password when you access, you can either remove the Windows user login password from your account or disable the password manager re-authentication feature in Chrome. To disable the password
manager re-authentication follow the below method:

• Open Google Chrome browser and type chrome://flags in the address bar and press Enter.
  
• You get a list of features available, scroll down to see flag labeled
  Disable Password Manager Re-authentication.
  
• Click on the Enable link below its feature description to enable the feature.
  
• Click on the button labeled Relaunch Now to restart chrome with new settings.
  
  

Hope it helps.

Password Manager in Google Chrome

Hello,
Chrome browser stores my passwords in the "Password manager". However, some sites ask me annually or half-annually to change the password. But it is not replaced in the "Password Manager", it keeps the old password, and when I try to open that site, the old password is embedded, have to change it manually. Chrome does not open a pop-up window asking if to save the password, as it has one saved.
In the "Password Manager" cannot do any editing.
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks
