HTML: Chrome save password

Question

Firefox and IE ask me to save the password. Why doesn't Chrome ask me? What do I have to change?

<body>
    <form action="" name="formlogin" id="formlogin">
        Username: <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />   
        Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password"/> 
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>

Chrome doesn't like you spelling as Chrome saves my passwords for me. Does is save any passwords? Maybe this will help: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=95606 — matpol, Mar 15 '13 at 11:59
FYI: This article about [Chrome PasswordManager PasswordFormManager](http://tech.pro/tutorial/828/how-google-chrome-stores-passwords) gives some insight how passwords are stored in Chrome's SQLite database and that they are encrypted using a `CryptProtectData` method. Since it is 6 years old i wonder if currently chrome stores the passwords online as well. — surfmuggle, Nov 19 '14 at 22:12

Your form needs a destination. Just assign action. For example create a file called "test.html" and then:

<body>
    <form action="test.html" name="formlogin" id="formlogin">
        Username: <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />    
        Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password"/> 
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>

I believe this question has already been adressed here.

<form name="formlogin" id="formlogin" action="" method="POST" onsubmit="handleFunction('action_login', document.getElementById('username').value, document.getElementById('password').value); return false;">
        Username: <input name="username" id="username" size="16" maxlength="16" value="" type="text">
        Password: <input name="password" id="password" size="16" maxlength="16" type="password">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form> <!-- login_form -->
