How To Clear Out Passwords In Google Chrome

Manage passwords

You can have Chrome save your passwords for different sites.

Learn more about how Chrome protects your passwords.

If you enter a new password on a site, Chrome will ask to save it. To accept, click Save.

Sign in with a saved password

If you saved your password to Chrome on a previous visit to a website, Chrome can help you sign in.

On your computer, go to a site you've visited before.
Go to the site's sign-in form.
- If you've saved a single username and password for the site: Chrome will fill in the sign-in form automatically.
- If you've saved more than one username and password: Select the username field and choose the sign-in info you want to use.

Show, edit, delete, or export saved passwords

Start or stop saving passwords

By default, Chrome offers to save your password. You can turn this option off or on at any time.

Sign in to sites and apps automatically

You can automatically sign in to any sites and apps where you have saved your credentials using "Auto sign-in." When you turn on "Auto sign-in," you do not need to confirm your username and password.

If you want to confirm your saved credentials when you sign in, you can turn off "Auto sign-in."

Check your saved passwords

You can check all your saved passwords at once to find out if they are:

Exposed in a data breach
Potentially weak and easy to guess

To check your saved passwords:

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top, click MoreSettings.
Select Passwords Check passwords.

You'll get details on any password exposed in a data breach and if any passwords may be weak.

Get alerts to change your passwords

You may get an alert from Chrome if you use a password and username combination that has been compromised in a data leak on a third party website or app. Compromised password and username combinations are unsafe because they've been published online.

We recommend that you change any compromised passwords as soon as you can. You can follow the instructions in Chrome to change your password on the site where you've used that password, and check your saved passwords for any other site the password may be saved on.

Chrome makes sure that your passwords and username are protected so they can't be read by Google.

Important: You must be signed in to Chrome to get these notifications.

To start or stop notifications:

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More Settings.
Under "Privacy and security," clickSecurity.
Tap Standard protection.
Turn 'Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data breach" on or off.

Tip: This feature is only available if the "Safe Browsing" option is activated.

How Chrome saves and syncs passwords

How Chrome saves your passwords depends on whether you want to store and use them across devices. When you're signed in to Chrome, you can save your passwords to your Google Account. Passwords can then be used on Chrome across your devices, and across some apps on your Android devices.

Otherwise, you can store passwords locally on your computer only.
