Ubuntu – Chrome auto-fill saved passwords is very slow

google-chromepasswordsperformanceubuntu 16.04

I have been a Firefox user for more than 10 years; all my passwords are saved by Firefox password manager and protected with a master password. Now I want to move to Google Chrome (ubuntu 16.04), so I removed the master password in Firefox, and imported all data from Firefox into Google Chrome. Everything is OK.

But now under Chrome, if I want to log into any page, I have to wait 15 seconds until Chrome autofills the credential fields. This happens on all sites which have saved passwords, even new passwords saved using Google Chrome!

What's wrong with Chrome? I have no such problem with Firefox on the same computer.

Best Answer

My suggestion would be to drop the browser based password manager and go with a 3rd party password manager like Lastpass.

Some options

Personally, I have been using Lastpass for over 6 years, never had an issue, and it works beautifully on Android, Windows, Mac and Linux OS, and ok on iOS.
