Google Chrome is undoubtedly the most popular browser. It appears by default on every Android phone. People also prefer Google services to desktop Safari and Internet Explorer. A wave of new browsers like Brave and Vivaldi as well as old ones like Firefox and Microsoft Edge are preparing to offer better services with more features. If you are going to switch from Google Chrome to any other browser then you should remove the saved passwords from the Chrome browser.
Most web browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc. provide a built-in password manager to store, manage and autofill logins easily. While users mostly invest in a full-fledged password manager, users often see the same users saving passwords on their favorite web browser like Google Chrome.
When users switch from the daily Google Chrome browser to the new Firefox or Microsoft Edge, they only import Bookmarks and History. People often forget to export or delete saved passwords from old Chrome browsers, leaving them vulnerable to data leaks.
In this post, we will talk about how to delete saved passwords on Google Chrome. You can choose the Google Chrome desktop browser or use the Google Chrome app (more on that later) to modify or delete saved passwords.
Using Google Chrome Desktop
You can use the desktop version of Google Chrome to find your saved passwords and make changes. Follow the steps below and remove saved passwords from Chrome.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome browser on desktop.
Step 2: Make sure you’re signed in with your Google account credentials.
Step 3: You can go to Settings > Autofill > Passwords or tap the little Profile icon on the menu bar and open the Password menu.
Step 4: Here you will see a list of saved passwords with the site name and username. Unlike Firefox, Google Chrome does not display creation date, last modified date, and other details.
Step 5: Scroll down to the website information you want to remove and tap the three-dot menu.
Step 6: Select Remove to delete the saved login information on the Google Chrome browser.
Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not offer a dedicated password manager like Firefox Lockwise. But the good news is that there is a way to view, manage, and delete saved passwords from the Google Chrome mobile app.
Use Google Chrome on a mobile device
Google Chrome also provides the ability to view and manage saved logins from mobile apps. Follow the steps below to remove saved passwords from the Google Chrome for Android app.
On Android
Step 1: Open Google Chrome browser on Android.
Step 2: Sign in with your Google account credentials.
Step 3: Tap the three-dot menu in the upper right corner and go to Settings.
Step 4: Navigate to Passwords and you will see a list of saved logins for websites.
Step 5: Tap on credentials and select Delete from the following menu.
The steps are also identical for iPhone. The only difference is that you need to go to the Settings menu from the bottom bar. Follow the steps below to make the changes to your iPhone.
On iPhone
Step 1: Open Google Chrome on iPhone.
Step 2: Go to the Settings menu from the bottom bar menu.
Step 3: Navigate to the Password menu.
Step 4: Tap the site name whose login you want to remove and select Remove from the following menu.
Export credentials
Users often remove passwords from Google Chrome when they plan to switch to another browser or don’t use older logins. In such cases, you should export your credentials with you. Google Chrome allows you to export your login details so you can easily add them to your new browser. Follow the steps below to export credentials from the desktop Google Chrome browser.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome browser on desktop.
Step 2: Make sure you’re signed in with your Google account credentials.
Step 3: Tap the Settings menu in the upper right corner.
Step 4: Open the Autofill menu > Saved Passwords.
Step 5: Tap the three-dot menu next to the Saved Passwords option.
Step 6: Select Export password. Remember that your password will be visible to anyone who has access to the exported file. So keep it in a safe place where only you can view the file.
You can now import CSV files into the new browser and enjoy a seamless autofill process.
Remove saved passwords from Google Chrome
As I mentioned earlier, people often forget to remove unnecessary logins from old browsers. The practice leaves users vulnerable to potential data theft. If you plan to continue from Google Chrome or keep the Saved Passwords menu clutter-free, you should remove unwanted and irrelevant login entries from the Chrome Settings menu.
