That's wrong, you CAN turn it off. I believe it's encrypted between Google and your Chrome browser, it says so but I haven't confirmed this myself. Chrome Settings, Password, disable "Offer to save passwords" Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 12:03 PM William Herrin <bill () herrin us> wrote:
Howdy, My gmail account prompted me today to change a compromised password. It wasn't compromised; it was an offline system where I intentionally used a generic password. But in the process... It turns out that every password I allowed Chrome on Android to remember, it uploaded to Google. In plain text!! And it could prove it by displaying the plain text passwords for me on my laptop. And I can't turn the upload off! To the google folks on here: Are you INSANE!? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
