Edit "Save Password" Exceptions in Google Chrome for Mac OS X

If you're a Google Chrome for Mac OS X user and you've ever hit "Never for this site" by accident (or have girlfriend who does so consistently), it's a little tricky finding out how to edit these "Save Password" exceptions. It's pretty clear for Windows' Chrome:

but I had trouble finding a solution for the Mac. A little snooping reveals that Chrome keeps its login information in a SQLite database file:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Login Data

To remove an entry from the exception list, do the following:

1. Shut down Chrome


2. Probably a good idea to make a backup of the database file


3. Open the database file in a SQLite database browser; I use SQLite Database Browser


4. Select the "Browse Data" tab


5. Sites for which "Never for this Site" has been selected will have the value 1 for the column blacklisted_by_user. Double-click the desired cell, change the value to 0, and click "Apply Changes"


6. Save and close the database file


7. Restart Chrome
