Chrome has started thinking every field in Airtable is a password field and pops up the 'Do you want to save this password?' after I finish typing in any field. It is very annoying!
It is also preventing me from choosing a date in a date field because it pops up the 'create a strong password' right on top of the calendar and I can't click on anything!
I've tried Googling for instructions for how to block the password autofill/offer to save on just one site, but can't find instructions exactly.
Is anyone else having this issue? As far as I know, I didn't change anything about Chrome, this just started happening.

This is not a chrome issue. it is happening to me in many browsers and operating systems. While the data view seems to be resolved today, I am still getting an issue with the interfaces. I have a filter at top that normally stays blank but it now autofills my email address into this unrelated filter. This then filters out all the records.

This wasn't happening 2 days ago. Now it happens on each field unless I change from single line text to long line. Thanks for the suggestion

Actually glad to see it ISN'T just me! This is really very disruptive!

Just adding my voice here in hopes that I'll get notified when there is a solution to this problem. I've tried to contact support and can't seem to do so anymore - I just get sent around in circles by a bot. This issue's making it really hard to work in Airtable!

this fixed it for me, too, but I hope they fix it for real sometime soon!

Also adding my voice to say how annoying it is! I too use Chrome's password manager too often for that to be a convenient workaround and the turning off the 'experiment' didn't work for me. Hope they find a solution as it's becoming too frustrating to use!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but here's our workaround in case it's helpful:
In Chrome disable passwords just for airtable.com. Chrome won't offer to remember them for airtable, but still will for everything else.
To log into airtable without a password, use the "sign in with Google" option if it's available to you. If it's not, at least airtable is the only site that will require a manual login.

Hello! I found a solution! If you go to your Google Password Manager, then to Settings, turn off "Offer to Save Passwords."
Unfortunately, this also disables the pop-up to save a password when you're actually logging into something. So, you'll have to go to Passwords Manager, then Passwords, and click "Add" if you want to save a new password. Or turn it off if you're working in Airtable for awhile and turn it back on when you're done.
You can get to Password Manager by clicking the 3 dots in the top right of Chrome, then click "Passwords and Autofill," the click "Google Password Manager."

How are you turning off passwords for just airtable? I use "sign in with Google" for my airtable login, but use the password manager on too many other things to fully disable it, as the workaround suggests - but if I can specify it for just airtable, maybe this can stop happening!

Here's what we did (Windows 10):
- Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the Chrome window
- Passwords and autofill
- Google Password manager
- Search for "airtable" and click on the record that comes up
- Enter Windows password
- Click delete
- Go back to an airtable grid view
- Enter some text in a blank cell (ignore the popup to generate a random password if it appears)
- Click another cell to save the text in the airtable cell
- Hopefully there's a popup offering to save that password in Chrome
- Click "Never"
Maybe there's a simpler way, but that worked for us. Good luck!
