Google Chrome "Managed" status issues 🤔

[Simon Zerafa]

HI,

If you find that Google Chrome is blocking or disabling some of its own settings (DNS over HTTPS for example) because the browser is "Managed" then check chrome://policy in the browser.

Anything that is configured here will likely flip the browser into Managed status. Something has changed one of the Password Policy settings and I suspect it's the Lastpass browser plugin.

I'm in the process of investigating this at the moment, updates to follow when available

KInd Regards

It’s also important to note that company-issued devices might put their browsers in Managed mode, even if they didn’t come with the device initially.

This shouldn’t be the case if you never connect your personally-bought device to any employer’s services.
