Windows 10: Why won't Google Chrome Windows Security Prompt accept my windows username and password to...

This is a re-authentication Windows Security prompt for login info to view my passwords in my chrome password manager but it does not accept my normal login information which I've confirmed many times. I've restarted the computer and reinstalled chrome several times and nothing works. I've looked for the "disable re-authentication" flag in chrome and it doesn't exist anymore. My MS username is an email address which works fine for logging into the computer but does not work for this security prompt for some reason?!?!? What is wrong and why can't I authenticate to view my passwords?? This is v

Google Chrome not accepting Microsoft password

I use Windows 8.1 and I allow Google Chrome to save website passwords. When I want to view a password, I go to Google Chrome Settings and under Autofill I click on Passwords. I see the list of saved websites and the hidden saved passwords and I click on
the "eye" (Show password) so that I can see the password. This action results in a box called Windows Security with 2 boxes, one for User name and the other for Password. I enter my User name and the last password I had for Microsoft. My attempt is rejected.
I scan the list of websites and there's no entry for Microsoft. I go to Microsoft and get MS to send me a code # for a new password. I have to do this a few times and each time Google gives me a prompt to remember my password but when I check Microsoft is
not stored. Fortunately, a short while back I exposed all of my passwords and took screen shots of the 5 pages so I can see my passwords. But now I can't see my passwords because the Settings/Passwords does not include the Microsoft website no matter what
I do. Is this problem correctable? If yes, please either supply me with easy to follow instructions or a website with instructions. Thanks to all who will help me. Edward

 

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.
