Information
Google Chrome has a built in password manager to store passwords for users. Chrome will use local authentication to allow users to gain access to these passwords.
NOTE: If you choose to Enable this setting please review Disable synchronization of data with Google and ensure this setting is configured to meet organizational requirements.
Rationale:
The Google Chrome password manager is ON by default and each organization should review and determine if they want to allow users to store passwords in the Browser. If another solution is used instead of the built in Chrome option then an organization should configure the setting to Disabled.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via Group Policy, configure the following setting to meet organizational requirements:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Password manager\Enable the password manager
Impact:
If this settings is disabled, users cannot save new passwords but they may still use passwords that have been saved previously.
If this settings is enabled or not configured, users can save passwords.
Default Value:
Enabled.
