How Do I Manage and Delete Saved Passwords in Chrome?

Many users configure their browsers to remember passwords for frequently visited sites. This helps to avoid entering login information repeatedly. While this can be convenient, the passwords are often stored as plain text in the browser. This means anyone can see your passwords with just a few clicks. To better protect your accounts, you should consider reviewing all of your saved passwords and deleting the important ones from the browser. The following tutorial will show you how to do this in Google Chrome.

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Click the Chrome’s menu icon at the top right of the window to expand the menu.

3. From the menu, choose Settings.

8. In addition, Chrome remembers configurations for websites for which you choose never to save the passwords. If you ever change your mind, you can go to the bottom of the window to review and delete the website entry from there. The next time you visit the site, Chrome will ask if you want to save the password or not.

9. Once you have finished editing, just click OK, and close the window.
