option to save passwords locally ONLY

Reported by oswal...@gmail.com, May 8 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/49.0.2623.108 Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. user name and password into any form
2. hit "save password"
3. find password in the cloud at your google account

What is the expected behavior?
There MUST be an the options to choose frome:
"save passwords locally"
"save passwords in your google account" 

What went wrong?
All my passwords automatically are sent to google - without any opportunity to avoid that - even without any info and notification about the fact that it's done.

That's ridiculous!!

Did this work before? Yes

Thanks for your report.

It is, in fact, possible to only store passwords locally by changing your sync settings to not sync passwords, under "Choose what to sync" see https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139

You can also not login to Chrome if you do not want your data stored in the cloud, and you can sign out following instructions here - https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2390059.

Thank you very much for these hints. I wasted hours with research for the options described above. I found quite some quotations with people saying "it's not nice that passwords are transferred to google without any request" - but never ever any solution for that. -

I think, updates to come should inform users about that fact and offer the choice to the customer in a very obvious and unavoidable way.
