| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | Stefan vd | 6/23/10 11:44 AM | Have you run a CC-cleaner or do you remove temp files? |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | taward | 6/23/10 11:54 AM | I have not done either of those. I clean out temp files periodically, but I haven't done it in at least a week. Should I? |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | Stefan vd | 6/23/10 11:56 AM | no no..strange that you passwords are lost. |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | taward | 6/23/10 12:31 PM | Strange indeed. It smells like some sort of corruption, either of the file it self or some interference with the encryption. I took a look a the file using a decoder I found, and the passwords are gibberish (which may be a function of encryption or |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | QQFarmer | 6/23/10 1:23 PM | My guess is data in the Default folder is corrupt. Let's all shut up for 5 seconds to mourn the loss. But now head to the Extensions Gallery and install LastPass. |

| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | taward | 6/23/10 1:44 PM | @QQ Thank you for the suggestion (and the mourning ;). What would be ultra helpful is if someone could point me to th exact file the houses the passwords. I am pretty maniacal about backups and I know that I back this folder up on a regular basis. |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | guiwegian | 5/18/11 7:05 AM | Chrome keeps losing my password for no apparent reason, I have to constantly re-type them in when I log in my account. This problem have been happening since the early age of Chrome, I have had this issue with either Chrome or Chromium, and with eith |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | kurtclement | 6/8/11 8:25 AM | What might of happened is that you or someone else logged in to the same sight and chose not have Chrome remember their password putting the site in the never remember category. If you go to preferences/personal stuff (Mac) and manage the passwords y |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | guiwegian | 6/8/11 9:03 AM | @kurtclement , I always click on 'remember my passwords', so that couldn't happen, no one else is using my computer, I think we are trying to make excuses here rather confronting the fact that there is a real problem. It is very bad for usability. |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | mattwestcott | 6/10/11 2:22 AM | I just had this happen to me, while I had a Chrome update (12.0.74291) queued up and waiting for a restart - restarting the browser brought the saved passwords back. Presumably the upgrade process silently updated the format of the passwords file in |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | chylld | 6/10/11 3:56 AM | Happens to me all the time. If I go into my passwords list now, about 3/4 of them are blank!! 12.0.742.91 / win7ultimate64 |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | QQFarmer | 6/11/11 6:56 AM | For you guys who lose passwords regularly, remember to set up Sync. That's what I would do. |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | backfolder | 6/29/11 11:02 AM | Well... this is my second post today... and I´m quite hungry. First in a XP SP3 Chrome couldn´t star with the 'Waiting on cache' bug. No way to fix this. Back to FF. Second now, using Chrome in MacOSX, the passwords have simply disappear. No error, n |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | chylld | 6/29/11 3:00 PM | I also went back to FF. For me the small performance benefit Chrome had was far outweighed by having to open FF and look up my passwords!! |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | Jamie Pate | 8/23/11 10:58 AM | i'm having this problem as well, and I do have sync set up w7 64 pro |

| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | armlet | 10/21/11 7:10 AM | I lost all my saved passwords on one computer. I didn't do anything differently. 1.

| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | Apourv | 11/2/11 7:57 AM | I have sync on my two pc account, unfortunately in the show saved password, Chrome displays all the usernames, but doesn't display password, anyone having this problem, any solution? |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | ilovejc10934 | 1/27/12 8:56 AM | I have this too. The password entries are there, and they have the username field right, they just don't have anything in the password field. I think it's an update problem. I remember the android update where it removed the Market App. |
| Re: Chrome lost all of my passwords... | rbnation | 2/10/12 6:12 AM | Same here, continually happens to me...passwords GONE....they really need to fix this or I'm going to drop Chrome altogether and go to FireFOx |
