Google Chrome Saved Passwords
I recently downloaded the new Google Chrome Web Browser which is still in beta. I accidentally clicked "Never remember passwords for this site" at a site I use many times a day. Now I can't figure out how to get to remove that site from the list so it will save the password. Any ideas?

There is a wrench icon somewhere(when opened). That is where you find your options. Take a look there.

Yes but that does not show how to remove a website you've already clicked "never remember" for

No. But it does tell you how to remember a site that you are at.

Go to the site that doesn't remember, then tell it to remember it.

It doesn't give you the option to remember it after you click "Never for this Site" no matter how many times you return.. That's why I'm trying to figure out how to remove it. Like in Firefox there is a list of exception websites that you can remove. I cannot find that in Chrome.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's about all that can be done. Perhaps in a future release there will be a way to update the list of sites where the password is never stored.

Peace...

I tried reinstalling it and cleaning the registry and everything. It still kept a user profile. After you click NEVER FOR THIS SITE, that's the point is for it to stop asking you! I figured it out anyway. I found Google Chrome's program files and found the User Profile folder and deleted it. That is the only way you can do it. Thanks for all your help to everyone Thanks all!

Good thinking to remove the User Profile stuff. Surprising that after removing and reinstalling Chrome somehow still knew your profile.

Ya it must keep the User Profile. It's kinds of difficult to find so if anyone ever needs to reset their profile right click the shortcut and follow the file path. It doesn't install with all the other program files. Weird!
