I wanted my phone to save my password for this called pistonheads.com. The trouble is, when I log in there is a little pop up menu that asks me if I want to save the password I have just entered. The pop up menu only appears however for a fraction of a second, I don't have nearly enough time to move my finger to it to apply the save option. I cannot manually add the site and password in the password settings of the chrome browser nor can I see it on any block list for never saving it, How can I add this? Anyone else here had this issue? Thanks in advance.

something weird going on - when you log into your password manager on chrome you can see all your used passwords. Delete all your cookies maybe, even reset your browser - you can check a box to not delete passwords

I had issues the same with Chrome, I did eventually just catch the dialog box one time and it worked.

I haven't had any issues with Brave Browser which is chrome based.

I cant find any option for that, I just double checked. I don't think I have any pop up blocker installed either. I wonder if the saved passwords on the phone are encrypted? If they weren't then possibly I could write a cookie to save it manually?

Hi I have after a few practices managed to get it to save the pw. Very strange that the pop up is like 1/3 of a second..

Try resetting your phone, may help with any future issues. My android phone this morning wouldn't turn the screen on, I had to do a hard reset.

Thankfully I had remembered how to do it, else I'd have been in a bit of a pickle.
