Save passwords to Google without Sync in Chrome

How to save codes of a page in your Google account when sync is turned off?

Google Chrome can synchronize your passwords, bookmarks and browsing history with a built-in Sync function. But this requires you to have the synchronization feature activated and of course to be logged in to your Google account with the program s.

Google is preparing to change this way of working. For saved passwords, the company makes an exception. So you can now turn off the sync feature, save and sync a website's saved passwords between your devices. The new feature will allow you to move your locally stored passwords to your Google Account and then use them later when requested via of completion.

Here's how to save passwords to your Chrome account while Sync is off.

This requires Chrome Canary at this time, as Google has not yet added the new feature to the stable version.

Open Chrome and open the internal address:

chrome://flags#passwords-account-storage

Select Enabled for the Enable the account data storage for passwords.

Then open the address:

chrome://flags#passwords-account-storage-iph

Select Enabled for Enable IPH to store account data for passwords (Enable IPH for account data storage for passwords)

Then open the address:

chrome://flags/#enable-autofill-account-wallet-storage.

Select Enabled for Enable the account data storage for autofill.

Restart Google Chrome.

To test the feature turn off sync from settings (chrome: // settings / people)

Sign in to Chrome again, as disabling sync will disconnect you and make sure sync is turned off.

Click Settings - Autofill.
Click on Passwords.
Click View and manage passwords in this (See and manage passwords on this device)
On the next page you will see the locally saved passwords. You will be able to use the new Move to Google Account setting.
This will allow passwords to be stored in a Google Account even when synchronization is turned off.

Also, when you choose to save a password, the browser will ask you if you want to save it to your Account or locally.
