Remove a saved password with Google Chrome

Posted January 17th, 2010 in Applications

If you have saved a password for a website in Google's Chrome you can easily enough remove that password (or all saved passwords) if you no longer want it saved on your computer. This post shows how to do this with easy to follow screenshots.

Remove a saved password

Click the wrench icon which appears to the right of the address bar. This is shown in the first screenshot below where to top red arrow points to the wrench icon. Then select the "Options" menu option which is highlighted below with the second red arrow.

A new window will open labelled "Google Chrome Options" as shown in the second screenshot below. Click the "Personal Stuff" tab and then the "Show saved passwords" button. The tab and button are highlighted in below with red arrows.

Another new window will opened labelled "Passwords and Exceptions". This shows a complete list of websites and usernames that have been saved. In the final screenshot below I have blurred out my own list of saved password sites and usernames.

To remove a single password, highlight the one you want to remove and then click the "Remove" button, highlighted with the blue box in the screenshot above. To remove all of them click the "Remove All" button.

View a saved password

Finally, if you would like to see what the saved password is, highlight the one you would like to see and click the "Show Password" button. This then shows it underneath the button and changes the text on the button to "Hide Password". The button and text where the password is are highlighted with the red arrow and box in the screenshot above.
