How is it that it is crashing all of Chrome, and not just one tab? I thought that wasn't supposed to be able to happen. It's never happened to me before...

Say, what is the security situation for saved passwords and stuff on Chrome? I don't use it right now, I use a password vault program, but I really have no idea if it is more secure in any practical sense.

There's just one login-type website I use regularly (my school's "my" page) that Chrome doesn't even attempt to auto-fill the username/password for. Can websites set themselves to not allow auto form filling, or is it just a bug?

Huh, it didn't work, and I cleared the cache and restarted Chrome and everything. It just doesn't offer to save it.

Weird, this saves all my passwords. As a last resort use Keepass and auto-complete I guess.
Well, you can see from the last page that this started because I decided to stop using a password vault and using Chrome's built-in system instead, due to transferring with Chrome's new iOS version.

I did the same. I don't know what to tell you, every site it saves for me, are you getting a Save Password prompt?
No, like I said I don't, it just goes straight through to the next page and that's it.

It's this page, I dunno if it's possible to see anything weird about it.

"autocomplete=off" isn't always the problem, the password safe functionality of Chrome is just very buggy. If a login isn't a very simple CGI form, then Chrome will still prompt you whether it should save the password, but even if you say yes it will save an empty user/password combination. You can check it by looking at the passwords in the Setting menu, it's pretty likely there is an entry for your website there but it is empty. In this case Chrome simply isn't compatible with your website and you'll have to use a third party password safe.
No, I checked and there's no password saved. Like I've said three times now, it didn't even offer to save it.
