No.. sorry but I have one time pressed the “NEVER remember password for this site” since I loged in under a diffrent name. The problem now is that Chrome dont remember all my older passwords for this site, and dont give me the option to do so either… Arrg :-) If you have “how to undo this…. Please send to me” THX

Did you ever find a way to get Chrome to save CHANGED passwords?

It is very frustrating that once I’ve removed a saved username and password (because my library account was hacked!), I have to type them in by hand every time from now on, because there’s no way to ask Chrome to remember log-in information once I’ve removed them.

Oh ! I really need to check this one :) I will post it if I find it ..

Switched to beta channel at Dinu’s suggestion (thanks!), but it still doesn’t have an option for resetting passwords. Here’s hoping that will make it into the next update.

ummm… how about how to tell google that a page that you told it in the past to never ask to store a password for is one that you now want to store a password? I want to store a password for a previously ignored page but thers no option to do that…

THIS WORKS!!!
Rename the following UserData folder to something else and restart the browser
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Userdata

All that did was just offer me to delete my saved user name and password, I did it to try and see if it will offer to save it again, but it still won’t. Is there a way that I can force chrome to offer to save my password?
