How To Delete Passwords From Chrome?

Stopping Chrome From Saving Passwords

First, let’s stop Chrome from prompting you to save passwords, so that deleting the rest will end this particular security loophole for good.

Locate the three dots that open your Chrome options menu, usually located to the right of your address bar. Click or tap there.

Select Settings. Then in the resulting menu, select Auto-fill. In a standard browser, this option will appear along the left-hand side of the browser window.

There should be an option that reads Offer To Save Passwords. Flip the switch so that it displays as gray rather than blue, indicating that the option has been turned off.

Don’t exit that tab just yet. While you’re there, we’re going to get rid of your password history.

How To Delete Passwords From Chrome Entirely

In that same menu where you found Auto-fill (a bar on the left side of the browser window, on the desktop), you should see Security and privacy. Select that.

Click or tap on Clear browsing data, then select the Advanced tab.

There will be a drop-down menu for the time range. Select All time.

Now put a tick in the box that says Passwords and other sign-in data. Finally, click or tap the Clear data button at the bottom of the menu.

This might take some time, depending on how much login data you have stored in Chrome. If your information is synched, the browser will need to reach out to your Google account to let it know that your password data is no longer being synched to this browser.

This is also the menu where you can eliminate other forms of browser history, from cached web pages to a list of the URLs that you visited, to site behavior. In the menu prior, you can also manage your cookie options, clearing existing ones and blocking third-party cookies. If you haven’t done so already, blocking third-party cookies is highly suggested as well!

Conclusion

Now that you know how to delete passwords from Chrome, as well as a few other nice privacy and security tricks, you can safely rely on a central password manager. Guard your master password jealousy. Never share it with anyone. And never let another browser store your passwords independently… that’s just an unnecessary security risk.
