Solution 1 - Google Chrome
This isn't an available feature I'm afraid. As a workaround, I'd recommend creating a separate Chrome profile for when you use this system and your personal autofill will then not appear in this profile.
- At the top right, click Profile Profile.
- Click Manage people.
- Click Add person.
- Choose a name and a photo.
- Click Save.
Solution 2 - Google Chrome
1 - In Chrome, click on your avatar and "Manage your Google account".
2 - Go to "Security".
3 - Scroll down to "Passwords manager".
4 - Access "Password Check-up" and launch "Check Passwords".
5 - Click on the 3 dots next to the password you want the warning to be ignored and select "Ignore warning"
You should be good.
Solution 3 - Google Chrome
The accepted answer and other good answers point out that you cannot disable saving password for only localhost. They also point out you can make a profile with this choice set globally.
Here is a screenshot journey of what you can do. Find it by navigating:
- In Chrome, click on your user's avatar (upper right) and then "Manage your Google account".
- Go to "Security".
- Scroll down to "Passwords manager".
- Click Settings gear icon
- Toggle switch for option "Offer to save passwords"
