Did you ever find a way to get Chrome to save CHANGED passwords?

It is very frustrating that once I’ve removed a saved username and password (because my library account was hacked!), I have to type them in by hand every time from now on, because there’s no way to ask Chrome to remember log-in information once I’ve removed them.

Switched to beta channel at Dinu’s suggestion (thanks!), but it still doesn’t have an option for resetting passwords. Here’s hoping that will make it into the next update.

All that did was just offer me to delete my saved user name and password, I did it to try and see if it will offer to save it again, but it still won’t. Is there a way that I can force chrome to offer to save my password?
