I initially set up google chrome using KDE 5. When opening chrome under nscde, no passwords were auto-filled or available. The google manpage indicates using --password-store=kwallet, but that is incorrect. It should be --password-store=kwallet5.

Ref:

Incorrect google chrome manpage reference to kwallet password store

   --password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
         Set the password store to use.  The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop environment.
         basic  selects the built in, unencrypted password store.  gnome selects Gnome keyring.  kwallet selects (KDE)  KWallet.
        (Note  that KWallet may not work reliably outside KDE.)

 **A:** By using "-D" flag of the Installer.ksh. This flag works only in non-interactive installation mode, which is reasonable for automatic building systems. An example:
 
 `./Installer.ksh -D /home/build/root/nscde_package_root -w -n -i`

+**A:** It depends which window manager chrome was initialized in.
+
+* First, be sure you are signed in to your Google account, and sync is turned on.
+* If you initialized Chrome in KDE5, use the command line option `--password-store=kwallet5`
+* If you initialized Chrome in KDE6, use the command line option `--password-store=kwallet6`
+* If you initialized Chrome in Gnome, use the command line option `--password-store=gnome`
+* Otherwise, try the options `--password-store=basic` or ``--password-store=default`

Nice to know this @pete4abw but I think this is generally a problem with password store of chrome, not something specific to NsCDE. I don't see the case for docs or Q&A here.
