How to delete Google saved passwords (Chrome, Android, iPhone)

Applies to: Google Chrome on Windows, Mac and ChromeOS, Chrome on Android and iPhone, and Google Password Manager on the web. Menu names move slightly between Chrome versions, so if a label differs, look for the closest match.

Before you delete anything, make sure you know the password another way (or can reset it), because a deleted password can’t be restored. If you want a copy first, Google Password Manager has an Export passwords option in its Settings. The export is a plain-text CSV file anyone can read, so delete it once you’re done with it.

Delete a saved password in Chrome on a computer

1. Open Chrome, select the ⋮ menu at the top right, then Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager. You can also type chrome://password-manager/passwords in the address bar.
2. Find the website in the list, or type it in the Search passwords box.
3. Select the site. Windows may ask for your PIN, fingerprint or password before it shows the details.
4. Select Delete. If the site has several saved accounts, delete each one you no longer want.

To change a saved password instead of deleting it, select Edit on the same screen.

Delete passwords at passwords.google.com

This works from any browser, even one that isn’t Chrome, and it’s the easiest way to clean up passwords saved on a phone you no longer have:

1. Go to passwords.google.com and sign in to your Google account.
2. Select the website in the list and confirm your identity when asked.
3. Select Delete, then confirm.

Passwords saved to your Google account are removed everywhere that account syncs. Passwords that Chrome kept only on one device (for example, while you weren’t signed in) don’t appear here, so delete those in Chrome on that device.

Delete saved passwords on Android and iPhone

Android:

1. Open Chrome and tap ⋮, then Settings.
2. Tap Google Password Manager (called Passwords in older versions).
3. Tap the website, confirm with your screen lock, then tap Delete.

On many Android phones you can reach the same list without Chrome, under the Google or Passwords and accounts section of the phone’s Settings. The exact path depends on the phone maker.

iPhone and iPad:

1. Open Chrome and tap … (More), then Password Manager.
2. Tap the website and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
3. Tap Edit, then Delete.

Passwords saved in iCloud Keychain or the Apple Passwords app are a separate list. Delete those in the Passwords app or in Settings > Passwords.

Delete all saved Google passwords at once

On a computer, Chrome can clear every saved password in one step:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Chrome (Cmd + Shift + Delete on a Mac), or go to ⋮ menu > Delete browsing data.
2. Set Time range to All time. Older versions put the password option on the Advanced tab; newer ones may need More to show it.
3. Tick Passwords and passkeys (called Passwords and other sign-in data in older versions). Untick anything you want to keep, such as history or cookies.
4. Select Delete data.

When you’re signed in with your Google account, this also removes the passwords from your account and your other devices. Some recent versions also have a Delete all Google Password Manager data option under Settings in Google Password Manager; if yours shows it, it does the same job for everything stored in the manager.

Stop Chrome from saving passwords

1. Open Google Password Manager and select Settings.
2. Turn off Offer to save passwords and passkeys (older versions say Offer to save passwords).
3. Optionally turn off Sign in automatically so Chrome stops filling in saved logins without asking.

If you clicked Never for a site and now want Chrome to save it, remove the site from the Declined sites and apps list in the same settings.

Deleted passwords come back or won’t delete

• The password reappears: another device signed in to the same Google account may still hold an old local copy that syncs back. Delete it at passwords.google.com and check Chrome on each device.
• Edge, Firefox or another browser still fills it in: every browser keeps its own list. Microsoft Edge stores passwords in its own Settings, separate from Google; if you also want a clean Edge profile, see backing up Edge favorites before you reset anything.
• A work or school Chrome won’t let you change it: your organisation may manage Chrome’s password settings. Ask your IT team.
• You think someone else saw your passwords: deleting them isn’t enough. Change the passwords on the websites themselves, turn on 2-step verification and scan your PC for malware.

Strange search engines, pop-ups or new extensions that appear along with password problems point to adware rather than a Chrome setting; see how to remove adware on Windows and how to get rid of an unwanted search engine in Chrome.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover a Google password after deleting it?

No. Google Password Manager has no recycle bin for passwords. Use the website’s Forgot password option to set a new one.

Does deleting a saved password delete my account on that website?

No. It only removes the copy Chrome remembered. Your account on the website is untouched, and you can still sign in by typing the password.

Does clearing browsing data delete my passwords?

Only if Passwords and passkeys is ticked. The default selections clear history, cookies and cached files, not passwords.

Are Chrome passwords stored in Windows Credential Manager?

No. Chrome keeps its passwords in its own encrypted profile and your Google account, so deleting entries in Credential Manager won’t remove them. Manage them in Google Password Manager instead.
