WebDriver Chrome Browser: Avoid 'Do you want chrome to save your password' pop up

Question

Every time my webdriver tests login into the application, 'Do you want chrome to save your password' pop up appears.. Is there a way to avoid this??

Please help.

Thanks, Mike

I've not come across it before, but could you not make a Chrome profile, disable the password manager in Chrome's settings, and use that profile for your tests? – Caro

Answer 1

You need to configure the following chrome driver options:

chromeOptions: {
            prefs: {
                'credentials_enable_service': false,
                'profile': {
                    'password_manager_enabled': false
                }
            }
        }

Thanks for this! I added this to my conf.js, which I use with protractor on the command line – Alfredoalfresco

Worked as-is for ruby bindings as well. – Aesthetics

Answer 2

I'm using Python, and this worked for me:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', {
    'credentials_enable_service': False,
    'profile': {
        'password_manager_enabled': False
    }
})
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://google.com')

chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', { 'credentials_enable_service': False,}) is enough – Clorindaclorinde

Answer 3

Just add these preferences to your chrome driver options:

Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
prefs.put("password_manager_enabled", false); 
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);

Answer 4

Yeah I just found the answer. I had to look into the Chrome's user data directory and find all the available chromeOptions the Preferences file. I'm on Centos 7 so the path looks like this:

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences

In order to remove the save password dialog, the config JSON chromeOptions section needs to have this:

chromeOptions: {
    prefs: {
        profile: {
            password_manager_enabled: false
        }
    }
}

It really makes me happy that I have finally found these options, however, it still is disappointing that google or selenium didn't list all the configurable preferences.

I am wondering how you got this to work. What chromedriver version, chrome version, selenium version, etc? I keep getting a response the the "prefs" is not recognized. – Aeroplane

Currently I'm using chromedriver 2.19 and selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar. As another note, I am also able to get these settings to work with node's protractor module as well. – Columelliform

Answer 5

Thanks to @karanvir Kang comment above, I added the following to my conf.js which I use when I call protractor. Example

protractor tests/conf.js --specs /tests/e2e/myspec.spec.js

And in my conf.js

exports.config = {
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    seleniumPort: '4455',
    baseUrl: url,
    directConnect: false,
    //getMultiCapabilities: helper.getFirefoxProfile,
    capabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        chromeOptions: {
            prefs: {
                'credentials_enable_service': false,
                'profile': {
                    'password_manager_enabled': false
                }
            },
            args: [
                '--disable-cache',
                '--disable-application-cache',
                '--disable-offline-load-stale-cache',
                '--disk-cache-size=0',
                '--v8-cache-options=off'
            ]
        }
    },

Answer 6

You can also start the chromedriver in incognito mode to stop the infobars from appearing. Please note that the experience will be like the incognito mode. Command will be

chrome.exe --incognito if you are running from command line you can add --incognito to chromeswitch array for executing from webdriver.

Answer 7

To provide a more complete picture, here is a working configuration for Watir in a Selenium Grid:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before :all do
    capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
      chromeOptions: {
          prefs: {
              'credentials_enable_service': false,
              'profile': {
                  'password_manager_enabled': false
              }
          }
      }
    )

    @browser = Watir::Browser.new(
      :remote,
      url: "http://#{ENV.fetch('HUB_HOST')}/wd/hub",
      desired_capabilities: capabilities
    )
  end

  config.after :all do
    @browser&.close
  end
end

I know this is pretty old, it has been answered correctly and all. Just wanted to give my 5 cents. If you are using Robot Framework, bellow is the way to do it.

open-browser
    ${chrome_options}=    Evaluate    sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()    sys
    ${cred_dict}=      Create Dictionary     credentials_enable_service=${FALSE}
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_experimental_option    prefs     ${cred_dict}
    Create Webdriver     Chrome     chrome    chrome_options=${chrome_options}
