Passwords not remembered

[Cent portable]

Hello,
Cent browser seems good except it doesn't remember passwords between sessions.  Also some cookies are lost. (Google search prefs. etc.)

I use many different computers so I tried the portable version with a flash drive.  The passwords are saved ok, but when I log in to another machine and start cent portable, the passwords are gone.

Here are the flags I have set : --disable-component-extensions-with-background-pages --disable-background-networking --show-component-extension-options --enable-threaded-compositing --disable-download-notification --cbportable --cb-add-user-agent --flag-switches-begin --disable-cast-streaming-hw-encoding --no-pings --disable-touch-adjustment --disable-account-consistency --enable-display-list-2d-canvas --enable-gpu-rasterization --disable-offer-store-unmasked-wallet-cards --disable-sync-app-list --enable-tab-audio-muting --disable-touch-drag-drop --enable-zero-copy --num-raster-threads=4 --reduced-referrer-granularity --save-page-as-mhtml --touch-events=disabled --flag-switches-end

Here is the paths: Executable Path P:\Browsers\CentBrowser\chrome.exe
Profile Path  P:\Browsers\CentBrowser\User Data\Default

I have some privacy settings on the settings page, but I cannot imagine them affecting passwords - which should be stored locally.
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback.

This is a known issue of Chromium. The details are described in another post.(http://www.centbrowser.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=185)
We recommend you use LastPass or Google synchronization service to synchronize passwords between computers.

We also consider to replace current mechanism with master password in future versions.

Thank you for your response,
If it was only the password problem, I could see installing an extension. But also some cookies and local storage is removed - I have to set up google search prefs every time I change machines. Add to that the download bar has returned after 1.5.13.33, and there is no recently used tab cycling options.
I think I'll move to Opera portable or some other chromium port - or back to Palemoon.

We tested the scenerio, passwords are the only thing lost and cookies are kept.
So we will test more scenerios to reproduce your problem.

Sorry, I can't respond quickly because I don't use internet every day.  It seems you are trying to make this better, so I will give you some more info.  I have to use library or public computers when I travel to different towns, so each town uses a different isp.  Also, when I plug in the flash drive I have to change to a virtual drive letter to P: - I use the subst P:. command for for this.  If I don't do this the ublock extension and other programs that rely on a static drive letter do not work.

Another thing is I use encrypted.google.com.  That shouldn't make a difference.  I also thought the autoplay setting on youtube is lost.

Cent portable 1.7.6.15.
Thank you

Lost of cookies may be caused by change of IP address. Some servers will bind your cookies to your public IP address( to protect you from hackers).
If they detect your IP address has changed, they will invalidate your cookies.
And for passwords, maybe we should provide an option to disable the encryption of passwords?

After version 33, chromium encrypts cookies with CryptProtectData and CryptUnprotectData on windows platform, but with user or environment changed, everything encrypted by this will become a shit.
Temporarily you may have a try with building a latest https://github.com/myfreeer/GreenChrome , which may disable the encryption.

Thank you os51.
This feature has been added to our work plan.

Thank you for your answer os51.  

"Lost of cookies may be caused by change of IP address. Some servers will bind your cookies to your public IP address( to protect you from hackers)."

That doesn't seem to be true, because I can use my laptop at public wifi when I travel and all is fine - it is only using usb plugged into public host computer is the problem.  I think the registry settings are not restored when centportable starts, or removed/saved when centportable quits.  I thought portable programs were supposed to store these settings on the flash drive.
Yes, the environment only changes on the flash drive and not on my laptop. Maybe the centportable exec. can change security settings when starting? - to an environment common to all windows computers?

Registry only contains yhings like usage stats,which has nothing related with the data you cared about.

Here is the newest build of GreenChrome, put the winmm.dll in the same folder of chrome.exe, create a file named GreenChrome.ini in the same folder above with the data inside the Code section with Unicode encoding, clear cookies and saved passwords, restart your browser, and it will be really portable
src code of GreenChrome can be found here 
p.s. better to use the offical build of cent browser portable form history instad of a loader 

Code:

; 本文件是 GreenChrome (winmm.dll) 的配置文件，采用INI格式
; 推荐使用有高亮功能的编辑器打开编辑，例如notepad++
; 分号（;）开始的行是注释语句，不会产生实际作用
; 如果设置是开关，需要手动修改：0关闭，1开启
; 路径支持 %appdata% 这样的环境变量，特别的 %app% 代表程序当前所在目录
; 如果还搞不定就加QQ群 14724233 反馈
