Chrome auto-fill saved passwords is very slow
My suggestion would be to drop the browser based password manager and go with a 3rd party password manager like Lastpass.
Some options
Personally, I have been using Lastpass for over 6 years, never had an issue, and it works beautifully on Android, Windows, Mac and Linux OS, and ok on iOS.

I have been a Firefox user for more than 10 years; all my passwords are saved by Firefox password manager and protected with a master password. Now I want to move to Google Chrome (ubuntu 16.04), so I removed the master password in Firefox, and imported all data from Firefox into Google Chrome. Everything is OK.
But now under Chrome, if I want to log into any page, I have to wait 15 seconds until Chrome autofills the credential fields. This happens on all sites which have saved passwords, even new passwords saved using Google Chrome!
What's wrong with Chrome? I have no such problem with Firefox on the same computer.

Sami over 7 yearsThakns :) They said Google Chrome for Linux uses gnome-keyring to store passwords, and gnome-keyring is very slow !! They really should develop their own password manager !!!

Martin Ewing over 7 yearsI have much the same problem with Chrome and Chromium on Ubuntu -- several versions over several years. This seems to result from poor scaling behavior of the interface with gnome-keyring. I have 800+ passwords and 1300+ bookmarks. Very disappointing that this hasn't been fixed for so long! It helps if you remove ~/.local/share/keyrings/*, log out, then back in and let the system regen its data from the Google server. Eventually, it settles down, but the password retrieval time can be 10 seconds or more if you go to a new login web page. Chrome on Windows, FF on Ubuntu are fine.

Sami over 5 yearsThank you for the advice, but with hindsight I'm not going to move to Chrome because if done it'll be very difficult to change to another browser : Chrome won't easly let me export my personal data like Firefox do !
