Is there a way to have Chrome save username/password for proxy servers, so I don't have to type them in every time I start it up?

Click the little gear icon in the upper right corner, select "Options". Go to the tab "Under the Hood", and click "Change Proxy Settings". Make sure "Manual Proxy configuration" is selected and fill in your proxy. Click the "Details" button to enter your user and password.

Thanks Matthew, ultimately I still couldn't get it to work, but that is what I was looking for. – Kevin Feb 13 '10 at 2:01
In Windows , at least in XP which i'm testing what you say in, when you click "change proxy settings" it brings up the "Internet Properties" screen which is the same oen IE uses. There is no "Manual proxy configuration screen". Maybe there is in Ubuntu. Perhaps what you say is Ubuntu specific community.screen-scraper.com/files/media/screenshots/… – barlop Apr 1 at 5:51
@barlop It's been changed in Ubuntu as well now to use the system settings. Should be more consistent that way. – Matthew Talbert Apr 2 at 1:36
@MatthewTalbert Not consistent across systems though. Firefox uses its own settings and works well. – barlop Apr 2 at 4:49

To save login and password, go to the Options, and Personal Stuff. Select the option Offer to save passwords.

After, close the browser, open again, and put your user and password. To verify if it works, close and re-open one more time. If Google Chrome loads the proxy login screen, with user and passwords already loaded, this workaround worked well.
