We’ll show you how to fix Chrome Autofill not working in this article. The Autofill feature makes things easier for users by letting them automatically sign in to websites using their saved passwords, fill out payment forms or information, addresses, etc.
Google Chrome’s ability to automatically fill in passwords, payment methods, and addresses makes online browsing a lot easier. But what if web browser no longer does this? Auto-fill prompts might not show up for some sites or everywhere you go, which would be a huge problem. So, in this post, we’ll look at ways to fix the problem where Chrome Autofill doesn’t work.

- After that, click Settings.
- Click on Autofill from the list on the left side of the screen.
- Click on Passwords and make sure the Offer to save passwords switch is on.

Clear Cache
A cache is a piece of data that stores things like what the user has done and what settings they have saved. Chrome uses this information to make things better for the user. But sometimes, because of old or broken files in the cache, Chrome stops working in a certain way.
On PC
- Start Chrome.
- Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click “More tools” and then “Clear browsing data.”
- Check only the boxes for Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cache images and files.
- Choose a time range from the list that appears.
- Click “Erase data.”
On Android
- Start Chrome.
- Tap the icon in the top right corner that looks like a menu.

- Choose a time range from the list that appears.
- Click “Clear data.”
Check Device Sync Settings
You might use Chrome on a PC, a tablet, or some other device. And you might only have one account for Chrome.
The ability to sync data between devices is another cool thing about Chrome. If autofill doesn’t work on your tablet, you may have saved the information on your PC in the first place. And your devices haven’t yet put the data in sync. Or maybe you didn’t turn on the sync feature.
On PC
- Start Chrome.

- Click Sync on to turn it on.
On Android
- Start the Chrome application.
- Tap the menu icon in the top right corner.
- Tap on Settings.
- Tap Sync under You and Google.
- You can choose which type of data you want to sync by checking the boxes next to them, or you can just turn on the “Sync everything” button.
Remove the Websites From Never Saved
Chrome asks you if you want to save your passwords every time you log in to a site. But you can also choose to never save the password. If you do that, Chrome won’t save any login information for that website, either now or in the future.
On PC
- Start Chrome.
- Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Just click Settings.
- Click on Autofill from the menu on the left side of the screen.

- Under Never Saved, click the cross on the sites for which you don’t want to save your passwords.
On Android
