How to Turn Off the Save Password Prompt
Brave and Vivaldi show this Save password pop-up every time you log in to any of your accounts or sign up on a website.
This feature is useful but less secure than dedicated password manager extensions. It is preferable to turn it off if you are not planning to use it. The process to disable this pop-up is slightly different on both browsers, but we will show you how to turn it off completely step by step.
Disable Save Password Pop-Up in Brave Browser
Step 1: Open Brave and click on the three lines at the top right corner.
Step 2: Go to Settings.
Step 3: Select Autofill from the left sidebar.
Step 4: Click on Passwords.
Step 5: Turn off the toggle for Offer to save passwords.
Step 6: Now turn off the Auto Sign-in toggle as well.
This will disable the Save password pop-up and stop the browser from automatically filling in your password.

In the same menu, you can view all your previously saved passwords. If you wish to delete them from your browser, you can easily do so by following the steps below:
Step 1: Select the password you want to delete and click on the three dots next to it.
Step 2: Select the Remove option.

Bonus: Use a Password Manager Extension
We all use multiple accounts these days, so keeping track of the login credentials of every single one of them is not easy. One day or another, you will forget or mix up the passwords, so having a password manager can help manage all your passwords.

- LastPass: LastPass is a feature-packed password manager that lets you store unlimited passwords and sync them across devices for free. It uses 256-bit AES encryption to secure your password and also offers an authenticator app to let you sign in to any app using your fingerprint.
