  • In Google Chrome:
  • Top right – 3 dots – Settings
  • Show advanced settings – Passwords and Forms
  • Manage passwords
  • In the “Never saved” list cross RM Unify
  • Next time you log into RM Unify – let Chrome save your password

This is only OK because you are logging in individually onto the Chromebooks so no one else can log into your account.  On other shared computers, eg at home, don’t save your passwords.
