Disabling Chrome’s Password Save Pop-up Using Selenium WebDriver

Disabling Chrome's Password Save Pop-up Using Selenium WebDriver

16 July 2024 Stephan Petzl Leave a comment QA

When working with Selenium WebDriver for automated testing, you might encounter Chrome’s “Do you want Google Chrome to save your password for this site?” pop-up. This can interrupt your test execution and lead to inconsistent results. This article will guide you through the steps to disable this pop-up using Java.

Method to Disable Password Save Pop-up

To disable the password save pop-up in Chrome, you need to set specific user preferences in ChromeOptions. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Import the required packages:
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
  2. Create an instance of ChromeOptions and disable the password manager:
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--disable-web-security");
options.addArguments("--no-proxy-server");

Map prefs = new HashMap();
prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);

options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
  3. Initialize the ChromeDriver with the configured options:
    ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Complete Code Example

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class DisablePasswordSavePopup {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--disable-web-security");
        options.addArguments("--no-proxy-server");

        Map prefs = new HashMap();
        prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
        prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);

        options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);

        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        
        driver.get("https://yourwebsite.com");
        
        // Your test code here
        
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Additional Considerations

While the above method effectively disables the password save pop-up, it’s crucial to keep your WebDriver and browser versions up to date to ensure compatibility. For more detailed guidance, refer to our documentation.
