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 can be configured to not remember passwords at all (makes a browser pretty useless), but it won't keep them only on the local device. If allowed to remember passwords, it uploads them to Google. No knob to turn sync off. -Bill -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
