I told Chrome not to save my proxy password, thinking that, this way, it would ask me for the password every time I launch it, but this is not happening. How can Google Chrome authenticate me even if it didn't save my proxy password?

@Ramhound no, no authentication asked by any browser...– user1301428Commented Dec 12, 2012 at 13:19

@Ramhound no, because I told the other browsers to store my proxy password– user1301428Commented Dec 12, 2012 at 15:48

@Ramhound why do you say I am not willing to help? I am trying to understand what's happening like yourself and I've been replying to all your questions. Anyway, thanks for your help and for the downvote :)– user1301428Commented Dec 12, 2012 at 16:59

Depending on the proxy server being used, some can store 'sessions' that rely on the MAC address used to authenticate - so when the same mac address is requesting access it is already in the cache of authenticated users.

1Yes, I think this is the explanation, I wouldn't be able to explain it otherwise :) Commented Dec 12, 2012 at 13:19
