How to Stop Comet Browser from Asking to Save Passwords and Passkeys

Comet is Perplexity’s official AI browser based on the Chromium engine. Like other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Edge), the Comet browser also has a built-in password manager that automatically prompts you to save passwords for specific websites.

Actually, a password manager is a great tool that keeps your important username and password safe, making it easier to log in later. Some password manager settings are enabled by default in the Comet browser, which shows a popup to save the password repeatedly while logging in to websites.

If you’re bothered by this password-saving popup and want to turn it off or disable it, it’s possible. It’s a very simple process, and the steps are listed below.
