The title tells it all: I'm wondering how can I add a password to Chrome. For some reason it does not ask to save password for a website. I think I've answered No the first time that it asks to save the password, and now it's become a pain in the neck.

There is no direct way to add a password to Chrome without using third party software. If a website no longer asks you to save the password after selecting the "No" option, you can reset this choice in the settings.
To do this:
1: First open Chrome.
2: Then go in the password settings. Either copy/paste this link:
chrome://settings/passwords
Or click the three dots on the top right, and select settings in the drop down menu. Then select the first choice in the Autofill section: Passwords
3: On this page you will find a list called "Never Save". The website you cannot add will be in this list. Click on the X on the right to remove it.
4: Go back to the website you want to add a password to chrome (log off if needed) and then re-enter your credentials. Chrome will once more ask you if you want to save the password for this website.
Note: Be sure the "Offer to save passwords" choice is active in the passwords menu.

The site is not in Never Save. Actually that list is empty – Milkyway – 2020-01-24T00:01:17.837
Weird...I think the easiest way then is resetting Chrome completely. Save all your passwords and data using sync beforehand. – Natsu Kage – 2020-01-24T00:11:12.310

– Moab – 2020-01-22T23:30:07.250Go to Chrome, Settings, scroll down for Passwords. See if your site above is in the list and delete the entry (... more) – John – 2020-01-22T23:35:37.057
Were you able to try this? Once deleted, of course you can r-add it in the normal way. – John – 2020-01-23T02:40:41.967
@John, some web sites have a forwarding step in them, so after you enter your password, the page that comes up forwards to another page immediately, and then the Chrome password save never shows up. So your recommendation works often, but not always. – Aganju – 2020-01-23T04:10:57.493
Chrome has its own credential manager (does not use Windows), so you may need to live with the current situation or use a third party password manager as suggested in the answer provided here. I have one or two (of many) in Edge that do the same thing. – John – 2020-01-23T11:11:33.147
@Moab I can't see
PasswordImportas explained in that answer. And searching forpassword importin experimental features, returns no results. – Milkyway – 2020-01-24T00:08:39.067@John the site is not in the list. – Milkyway – 2020-01-24T00:09:14.010
The answer provided was essentially suggesting to google for a third party tool to add a Chrome password. I do not know of such a site myself. I was thinking that if you deleted the Chrome entry for the problem site, you could go back and Chrome should again ask you for the password for the site – John – 2020-01-24T00:14:20.127
@John I mean, the entry of that site is not in Chrome's
Never Saved– Milkyway – 2020-01-24T00:20:27.663There is a link in the post above mine, and my post was about using Chrome itself. – John – 2020-01-24T00:22:14.723
