Force Chrome password update

I made a profile page where users can update their passwords:

<form action="..." method="post">
  New password: <input type="password" autocomplete="new-password" name="password1" />
  Repeat: <input type="password" autocomplete="new-password" name="password2" />
  <input type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>

The issue is that when they validate the form, Chrome is not suggesting to update the password in its password manager.

I know that on some websites, when I change my password, Chrome automatically detects it and suggests to update it in the password manager.

How can I force Chrome to take into account this new password?

I tried playing around with the autocomplete attribute, or adding a field requesting the old password, but nothing seems to work…

The only way to make Chrome show the password update pop-up is to redirect the user to a different URL after the password change.

You need to redirect the user to another url by writing in

header(location: theLocationHere)

write that under the change password code in php

redirect him to the home to be nice
