I couldn't decide where to put this, so picked Android since the Chrome in question is on a Galaxy S10+.

 

Having had to factory reset the phone (don't ask!) I am slowly going through the process of getting it back to working again the way I had it. One of the things Chrome did before was fill in some user names and passwords automatically. I have checked in the part of Chrome where the Password list is and the information is all there.

 

However, the next part - putting the information in the boxes when you visit the sites - is not happening.

 

 

 

Any suggestions to get that to work again?

1. have you signed in to chrome

 

2. if you have under the phone settings - google - password auto fill option (but should be enabled by default)

yeah i know what a PITA after a reset is

 

I fiddled with the system apps and turned off a few of them and google playstore won't download.

 

couldn't figure it out and reset phone settings and then reset playstore data

 

but it turns out I shot a whole day's videos on 1080 30fps instead of 4K

 

 

 

i'm over it though, i'll stop fiddling !

 

(until tomorrow probably)

You're a genius.

 

 

 

I had not realised I needed to sign into Chrome separately from adding the main Google account. 

 

 

 

Thanks! One down...
