Browsers like to be useful. They know that, in a PC, they are your main means of communication with the Internet : with them you can access your favorite news pages, you can buy online, access your social networks and countless other things.
Precisely because of that desire to be useful in your day to day offer to keep your passwords, so you do not have to remember them. For that reason, every time you log on to a website and enter the password, the browser will ask you if you should remember it or not. This behavior can be annoying, so we’ll show you how to disable it.
Before continuing, it is worth commenting that if what you are looking for is a way to have your passwords saved and in an easily accessible place, then you can try with password managers, but they are not infallible either.
