Google Chrome can automatically fill in your passwords, addresses, and payment details to speed up browsing. While this feature is convenient, some users prefer to turn it off for privacy and security reasons.
If you don’t want Chrome to store or automatically enter your login details, you can easily disable Autofill on both mobile and desktop.
Here’s a complete guide to turning off password Autofill and automatic sign-in.
How to Turn Off Password Autofill in Chrome (Mobile)
If you’re using Chrome on your Android or iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Chrome app on your phone.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Scroll down and tap Passwords.
- Turn off the following options:
- Save passwords
- Auto sign-in
Once disabled, Chrome will no longer store new passwords or log you into websites automatically.
Delete saved passwords (optional)
If you also want to remove passwords already stored:
- Stay in the Passwords section.
- Tap any saved account.
- Tap the trash icon at the top to delete it.
How to Turn Off Password Autofill in Chrome (Desktop)
To disable Autofill on a PC or laptop:
- Open Google Chrome.
- Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings.
- In the left panel, go to Autofill and passwords.
- Click Google Password Manager (or Passwords, depending on your version).
- Turn off:
- Offer to save passwords
- Auto sign-in
This prevents Chrome from prompting you to save new passwords or from automatically signing you in.
Remove saved passwords
If you want to clear existing logins:
- Scroll to the Saved passwords section.
- Click the three dots next to any saved entry.

- Repeat for any other accounts you want removed.
Why You Might Disable Google Chrome Autofill
Turning off Autofill can be helpful if:
- You share your device with others
- You use a public or work computer
- You prefer managing passwords manually or with a separate password manager
- You want extra control over your privacy and login security
Once these settings are turned off, Chrome will stop saving new passwords and won’t log you in automatically. You’ll need to enter your login details manually each time, giving you full control over your account access.
