How to Delete a Saved Password in Chrome (Any Device)

Chrome's built-in password manager is genuinely useful — it saves credentials automatically, fills them in across devices, and syncs through your Google account. But there are plenty of reasons to clean house: an old password that's been updated, credentials for an account you've closed, or simply wanting to remove something Chrome saved without your permission.

Here's exactly how to delete saved passwords in Chrome, across every major platform.

Why Chrome Saves Passwords in the First Place

When you log into a site, Chrome offers to save your username and password locally or to your Google account if you're signed in. These credentials are stored in Chrome's Password Manager — accessible at passwords.google.com or directly inside the browser.

It's worth knowing the difference between two storage modes:

• Synced passwords — saved to your Google account, accessible across all devices where you're signed into Chrome
• Local passwords — saved only to the browser on one device, not synced anywhere

This distinction matters when you delete. Removing a synced password on one device removes it everywhere. Removing a local password only affects that machine.

How to Delete a Saved Password on Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux) 🖥️

1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner
2. Go to Settings
3. Select Autofill and passwords from the left sidebar
4. Click Password Manager
5. Find the site whose password you want to remove — use the search bar if needed
6. Click the site entry to open it
7. Click the Delete button (trash icon)

That's it. The password is removed immediately. If it was synced, it disappears from your Google account and any other devices running Chrome with the same account.

Tip: You can also navigate directly by typing chrome://password-manager/passwords into the address bar.

How to Delete a Saved Password on Android 📱

1. Open Chrome on your Android device
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right
3. Tap Settings
4. Tap Password Manager
5. Find and tap the site entry
6. Tap the Delete icon (trash can) in the top-right corner

Alternatively, visit passwords.google.com in any browser on your phone — it shows all synced passwords and lets you delete them from there too.

How to Delete a Saved Password on iPhone or iPad

1. Open Chrome on iOS
2. Tap the three-dot menu at the bottom-right
3. Tap Settings
4. Tap Password Manager
5. Locate the entry and tap it
6. Tap Delete Password at the bottom

Note: iOS also stores passwords through Apple's own Passwords app (formerly iCloud Keychain). Chrome passwords and Apple passwords are separate systems — deleting from Chrome does not remove anything from Apple's keychain, and vice versa.

Deleting Multiple Passwords at Once

If you want to do a bulk cleanup rather than removing entries one at a time:

• On desktop, go to Password Manager and use the checkboxes that appear when you hover over entries — you can select multiple and delete them together
• On passwords.google.com, you can manage, audit, and bulk-delete synced passwords with a bit more flexibility than inside the browser itself
• Chrome also flags compromised, reused, and weak passwords under the Password Checkup section — useful for identifying exactly what needs to go

What Happens After You Delete

Once deleted, Chrome won't autofill that site anymore. If you visit the site and log in again, Chrome will offer to save the new credentials. The deletion is permanent — there's no undo or recycle bin for passwords.

If you deleted a synced password but it reappears on another device, that usually means the other device hadn't synced yet at the time of deletion. Give it a moment to catch up, or open Chrome on that device and let it sync manually by signing in.

Variables That Affect How This Works for You

The basic steps above apply broadly, but a few factors shape the experience:

If Chrome is installed on a work or school device, your organization may manage certain browser settings, including access to the password manager. In those cases, the delete option might be grayed out or unavailable for specific entries.

A Note on Password Manager Alternatives

Some users keep passwords in Chrome purely out of convenience, while others use dedicated managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, or Dashlane. If you're migrating to a third-party manager, you'd typically export your Chrome passwords first (via the Password Manager's Export option), import them to the new tool, then delete them from Chrome entirely.

Whether that's the right move depends on how many devices you use, whether you share a browser profile with others, and how much you trust browser-native storage for sensitive credentials — all considerations that vary considerably from one person's setup to the next.
