    I moved the system from the disk to ssd and I have a problem with the passwords to access online forums, i.e. they do not open automatically by remembering the login and password, for example on the Electrode - I had to tap manually.

    It is normal behavior after changing the system, but I have a Google account and there are all usernames and passwords for various forums / websites, and you should also log in automatically. I also can't make Chroma my default browser (does that have a relationship?).
    Control Panel -> programs -> default programs -> set default programs -> and unfortunately it is not on the left side of Chrome, despite the fact that I use it all the time.
    Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

    On the list of installed programs you only have:
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
    Microsoft Security Essentials
    Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver

    Something seems to break during the porting, I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall all your programs.

    I didn't move anything, I installed the system on the ssd and there are programs, data and other on the disk, chrome is on the disk.

    I also have the FF on the disc in the same catalog, I just started it
    and set it as the default browser in the control panel - no problem, unlike Chrome. I coded in my head not to overload the system partition with programs, is it not that the browser should be on the c drive?

    You should reinstall all programs if you want everything to work.

    Unfortunately, what Kolbos proposes is absolutely necessary.
    It is true that it is possible to "transfer" the system, the programs installed in it and dsnych from the stock disk to the ssd, but many conditions must be met. It requires a lot of work and knowledge.
    I used to do such a disk swap between laptops, but the other way around is easier because the hdd was much bigger.

    Can I install them on a disk? Or is there a need for some of them on a system ssd, e.g. a browser?

    I certainly don't have that much ;) - it is about knowledge, because the willingness to work is there :) .

    Install on ssd. All basic programs should fit and there is still room for basic data.
    With a relatively small disk, I would try to install little and no extensive programs.
    One browser e.g. Vivaldi or Palmoon. Sumatra instead of Acrobat etc. As a rule, there are smaller and usually faster substitutes.
    Attention. Until you have set up all the necessary programs, DO NOT delete anything from the CD!
    Note 2. Personally, I do not trust Google with ANY sensitive data! Passwords belong to them!

    As I know life, despite the caution, the 120GB ssd will soon be too small, I read on the net that many people have ssd only for the system and the rest on the disk.

    I'm just using Sumatra, but I'm used to Chrome ;) .

    I have a copy on the second disc as if what but I will not remove it.

    Do you enter your login and password every time? Just because I agreed to sign up. Currently, I have dozens of logins and passwords (broad interests- heheh).
    Of course, the bank details, addresses for girls, etc. are outside of Google ;)

    If everything was on ssd then I could take a bigger disk :( .

    I recommend for LastPass passwords - one master password and you don't have to remember the others. And to move the browser, it is best if it was in the portable version because then the data is saved in the folder where the browser is, not the user's profile in a completely different directory.

    Yes, but you have to type them every time, that's what I do in the bank. There is no problem with memorizing, I have a printout and always at hand. It's not about unreliable memory, it's about making your life easier ;) in order not to enter logins and passwords manually every time.

    If I understand correctly, it will save in portable version on some disk partition and will not clutter the system ssd in "AppData" or anywhere else. So far, I have associated portable with running "portable" from a pendrive. This would be a way to relieve the SSD :) .

    You do not have to type each time - once in a Russian year I am asked for a password (assuming that I do not change the network because I am sitting in two places). You enter the bank yourself or choose from the menu. And most of them, like an electrode, keep this password automatically.

    Portable is all in one place - although I haven't used lastpass since. And sometimes I need to log in on a second laptop, so I just need to have lastpass installed, enter the email and password. So I'm not afraid of any browser updates, system changes etc because passwords are on the server. Of course you can make copies etc.

    The browser should be on SSD - that's what SSD is for to shorten the loading time and here it is needed. Don't save SSD, use it as much as possible.

    What is this copy? Could it be a partition image? Why keep so much junk or data that is easy to recreate (programs).

    Sumatra is only a few MB, not over 100 like Acrobat and 95% of the time is enough. Chrome is big, resource-hungry, and ... it's Google. Your will. There is no tragedy.

    I don't know what you're planning to install, but you have to be wasteful to get 120 GB to fill up quickly. Follow the rule: yes tailor countries ...
    To make the disk last longer. You have to carry out a system optimization, which is unfortunately time-consuming. Eg Don't hibernate or delete restore points except one. Read on. Google or another search engine such as DuckDuckGo will help.

    I don't get it, because if you don't let the browser remember the password, who / how remembers?

    okay :) .

    Lastpass takes control of your passwords. Well, unless you do not want or some stone unwilling to save in his password directory for the future.

    You can safely use Hibernation on SSD - all these things related to saving write / read on SSD are long out of date. You can't eat SSD data - it will age faster, at least in home use.

    You can move the swap or set a small fixed swap size on the SSD. Do not leave the machine as it is a waste of space.

    Now I think I understand, instead of remembering in the browser this program takes control over them and automatically inserts them in the given site?

    I only know this from theory :( The point is to reserve as little SSD as possible for memory, how will the RAM run out?

    I don't know what kaman is about ;) , - hibernation?

    So it takes control.

    It's best to set a fixed size and not one controlled by the system, I now have 500MB because I have a lot of headroom but I never set it to be controlled by the system or turn off because it can't be turned off completely.

    The last one was about the swap because the RAM and RAM occupation dependent hibernation and it would be a big nonsense to set the hibernation on the HDD where it is about the speed of writing / reading from the SSD and not inhibiting the HDD.

    I have 8GB of RAM, no movies, sometimes short on YT, no games, mostly I navigate the web + webinars.
    Probably enough RAM for such needs? Do you have to increase by swap?

    Google Chrome: Passwords Not Auto-filling After System Migration to SSD, Setting as Default Browser

    enhanced wrote:

    This program is proposed as a Chrome extension, is it possible to use it, or is it better to download it separately, but the manufacturer's website also suggests that it can be connected to the browser.

    I reinstalled the programs, I use Lastpass, I think everything is fine. :)

Topic summary

After migrating the system to an SSD, the user experienced issues with Google Chrome not auto-filling passwords and difficulties in setting it as the default browser. Responses suggested that reinstalling programs may be necessary due to potential issues during the migration process. It was noted that while Chrome can be installed on a secondary disk, placing it on the SSD is recommended for performance reasons. Alternatives like LastPass were proposed for password management, allowing for easier access without manual entry. The discussion also touched on the importance of managing SSD space and optimizing system settings to enhance performance.
