Chrome for Windows requires biometric authentication to autofill saved passwords on websites<\/a>. Turn off Windows Authentication for Chrome if you\u2019re tired of repeatedly providing your Windows Hello PIN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend using Windows Hello verification for password autofill if you share your computer or browser with other people. T<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Update Google Chrome\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Google Chrome updates bring new features and security fixes to the web browser. Chrome automatically updates itself in the background when a new version is available for your device. You can also check for updates manually or restart the browser to apply pending updates.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Select the three-dot menu icon<\/span> and select Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

              Does Chrome display the Windows Hello prompt despite turning off authentication for password autofill? The issue could be due to bugs in your computer\u2019s operating system.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Some Windows users in this Microsoft Community forum<\/a> resolved Chrome\u2019s Windows Hello authentication issue by updating their computers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Go to Settings<\/span> > Windows Update<\/span> and select Check for updates<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

              Update and restart Google Chrome if the browser still requests Windows Hello authentication when auto-filling passwords.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Reset Google Chrome\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              Reset Chrome\u2019s settings to factory default if the browser doesn\u2019t stop requesting biometric authentication for password autofill. Performing a factory reset deletes cookies, temporary site data, and Chrome shortcuts. The operation also deactivates all extensions installed on the browser.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Resetting Chrome won\u2019t delete browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, fonts, and accessibility settings.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Paste chrome:\/\/settings\/reset<\/span> in the address bar and press Enter<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Select Restore settings to their original defaults<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
