Chrome doesn't remember text entries

[PaulDesmond]

Hi. I have a new laptop using google chrome. My old Windows 7 PC used firefox. The browser remembered entries made into text fields including passwords. I don't have this. Does chrome not support this or is there a setting?

TIA

Paul.

When you used Firefox, had you set up an account with Firefox so it can remember those settings?

The same can be done with Chrome, you set up an account and logon to it on the browser to remember those details across devices.
You need to make a Google Account and then logon using it.

I don't know if Chrome will remember passwords without an account to associate them with - this will tell you - https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95606?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop

Or you can just install Firefox and logon to same account to have it remember it all now..

That sounds strange. I don't have to open a firefox account.
I am not just talking about user names and passwords. Websites I have used before will automatically fill in the details.

I am talking about general remembering of text fields.

I may have used passwords remembering by mistake. I am talking about general websites where you have to enter a post code. This is not top security information, just general info that you might want to type in again and again. For example. Firefox automatically helps with the entry when you type the first two letters of a post code.

Reset all of your settings in chrome to default and it should work. You turned off the predictive search

REset and turn on again

i guess predictive search is no longer an option but there are similar settings in chrome privacy and settings
