Disable password saving Disable password manager

[Felix]

Hello there,

Been trying to stop saving of password in chrome, and i need to do this to about 200 systems.

Tried PasswordManagerEnabled to find it does not work for non-domain joined machines.

Is there anything else that i can try? i do have google admin but to control it via google account means if my users do not sign in it won't work.

I am not the only one, and i hit the same roadblock as this chap

I am trying now to make use of master preference file to have it disabled on install.

It's not going too well, i managed to make it work 3 of 15 tries.

Here's my master preferences

-------------------------

{

  "homepage" : "https://www.google.com",

  "skip_first_run_ui": true,

  "make_chrome_default": true,

  "profile": {

    "password_manager_enabled": false

  },

  "autofill": {

    "enabled": false

  }

}

Hi,

master_preferences works only on first run of Chrome therefore this change will only be applied if it is a fresh installation of Chrome. If you can uninstall Chrome and clear the user data from those machines you can use this to apply the setting through master preferences in 100% of the cases.

Best,

Julian

Would a device or OS-user policy (https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en) do the trick? Even if the machines aren't joined to a domain, I believe that you should be able to use whatever management system you have to add the policy to each machine locally.

Hi,

Yes you can use the local gpo on each machine to set the policy to disable the password manager ( https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#PasswordManagerEnabled ). 

Best,

Julian
