    This is all well and good, and I thought that was my problem until I signed out of my MS account on both my PC and my chrome and I am STILL being prompted for my password/pin, and DO NOT HAVE WINDOWS HELLO turned on in Chrome!

    This is my personal PC, no one else in the house to touch or access the personal pc inside my house and Windows is STILL trying to stick it's nose where it doesn't need to be.

    So where is the THIRD magical, clearly mysterious and possibly invisible location of the "Turn off Windows Hell-o forever and ever" at?

    How can I turn off Windows security asking me for a password to see my Google Chrome passwords. This is a real inconvenience.

    New computer, New to Windows 11. I have the Windows Security pop up problem when trying to access Google Passwords.

    But I do have the option to turn it off being spoken about to solve it,

    My Options

    Without the solution option, how do I turn this unwanted pop up off or obliterate it all together. Windows should not be interfering with matters in another app.

    Please help - this is doing my head in.

    Just to point out, if you've ever had someone come and sit at your computer when you weren't looking, you do NOT want to have this turned off. That goes double if this is at work or some other shared location, and not just in your house. If you have left your computer unlocked and someone opens Chrome, they can get into your entire life if you sync your passwords.

    It's also possible if you get malware on your computer - and, seriously, if you're looking for ways to turn off security features because they annoy you, then I'm going to imagine that it's fairly likely you will - some of these can open up your passwords list and grab everything, unless Chrome is set to ask you for your PC login when someone asks to open up the list.

    It may be a huge inconvenience (really? A password is a huge inconvenience?) but so is having to use a key to open your house. Better leave it open. Better still, a door is an unnecessary barrier to coming home with grocery bags, so remove it. Please just think about what you're doing, and not just that passwords are annoying. You're saving having to remember hundreds of different passwords, by hiding them behind one password that you can type quickly since you do it so often. Don't make the mistake of hiding all these passwords behind absolutely nothing.
