@Canny lass - forgot to add - as I am starting to forget things, especially passwords of 8, or more, letters that include :- numeric, special characters, upper & lower case alpha a few years ago I created an Excel spreadsheet with all my Login Id's, passwords and info associated with each one. Naturally that Excel document is not held on any PC but on a Memory Stick that can be accessed on numerous hardwrae devices. All I have to do now is remember to keep that Memory Stick up to date

@Canny lass - I had a bit clart on my PC and if you are using Windows 10 ( I would assume Win 7 & 8 exactly the same) and Google then I believe what you should be looking for is :- Setings , Auto-fill and Passwords. First select the 3 dots at the top left corner of your Google browser screen That will bring up a menu with 'Settings' in it - select Settings That will bring up a screen with selections down the left of the screen and there will be an 'Auto-fill' icon, select that and that will bring up the Password option - select that that should bring up - 'Offer to save Passwords' = a slide bar and I would guess your slide bay is switched off. Switch it on. Now what I don't know is that when you slide it to On if your previously saved passwords will be brought back , ie. from a file that was not affected by your upgrade, or if you will be starting again from scratch. I did not experiment with my 'slide bar' as I didn't want to risk loosing the 100+ passwords I have saved.

Canny - I write mine in a notebook. I bought 'The Personal Internet Address & Password Logbook' in Waterstones some years ago, although I'm sure it's available online. I always use a pencil to write the entries so when they change I simply rub them out and redo; pen would just mean loads of crossing outs. I know, I know, I know - security, security, security ... I take the view that if anybody broke into my house to gain access to my PC they could give me a good thrashing to extract the pins, codes and passwords anyway; so the notebook will save me from being tuned-up.

CL - Not sure I can help - both my Desktop PC's are Windows systems using Google and the saving of login Id's + passwords is automatically asked when you first visit a new site. Updates to passwords are also asked to be saved = pop-up window when you make changes. What system9s) are you using?
