The asking to save password message is meant to be helpful. You might not have a password manager, and Google just wants to make sure that you don’t forget your password. But, if you’re already using your favorite password manager, always having to see that message can get a little annoying. The good news is that there’s a way to make it go away.
Having a password manager such as LastPass or Bitwarden is much better than saving your passwords on your browser. For starters, having a designated password manager is much safer than saving it on any browser. Or, maybe you have your own password system and just want Google to stop asking you to save your login information.

The option to have Chrome stop saving passwords is going to be at the top. All you have to do is toggle it off, and you’re good to go. As long as you’re there if you want Chrome to stop signing you in automatically, the option is right below the password one.
