Hey folks, I’m trying to figure out how to disable the password manager in Chrome using Hexnode on my Windows devices. It’s been auto-saving credentials and I want to turn that off across devices. Any ideas?

Can’t you do it using Web Content Filtering? Like, if you take the URL of Chrome’s password manager page — chrome://password-manager/passwords maybe you could just block it directly through the filtering rules? I’m not entirely sure if it works with internal browser URLs, but it might be worth trying if your filtering tool supports it.

I would suggest to just disable Chrome altogether or push users to use a different browser, one that doesn’t have password saving built in. That seems to work pretty well in enterprise setups, at least from what I’ve seen.

Thank you all for the valuable input. Another way to approach this for Windows is by executing scripts to enforce Chrome policies. For example, to disable the password manager you can use a PowerShell script like the one given below:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
#Disable Password manager in Chrome Browser $registryPath = 'HKLM:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome' $value1 = 0x00000000 if(!(Test-Path $registryPath)) { New-Item -Path $registryPath -Force | Out-Null } New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name PasswordManagerEnabled -Value $value1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null Write-Host "Chrome policy key created and Password manager disabled." |

@ezekiel honestly, if Chrome’s password manager is being a huge pain, just use another browser, man. No point fighting it if it’s messing things up, there are plenty out there that don’t save passwords by default.

Script works well I guess but if you’re looking to turn off Chrome’s Password Manager directly from your device, here’s how to do it:
On a Computer:
Open Google Chrome.
-
Click the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner and select Settings.
-
In the left sidebar, click Autofill and passwords, then choose Google Password Manager.
-
In the left menu, click Settings.
-
Toggle off:
-
-
Offer to save passwords and passkeys
-
-
-
Sign in automatically (optional, to prevent auto-login)
-
Save
