How to View and Manage Your Saved Passwords in Chrome

Google Chrome’s built-in password manager can remember hundreds of site credentials for you. Whether you need to retrieve a forgotten password, update a stored login after changing it online, or clear out old credentials, Chrome makes all these tasks straightforward. In this process, third-party tools can also be helpful, such as Wise Disk Cleaner. Here’s how to view, edit, and delete saved passwords on Google Chrome in Windows 11.

View Your Saved Passwords in Chrome

1. Launch Google Chrome.

2. Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the window. Choose Settings from the drop-down.

3. In the Settings sidebar, click Autofill, then select Google Password Manager.

4. Under the Passwords section, you’ll see a list of websites. To reveal a concealed password, click the arrow icon next to one entry. Windows 11 will prompt you to verify your identity (via Windows Hello, PIN, or your Microsoft account password).

After successful verification, the password appears in plain text. You can copy it to your clipboard by clicking the copy icon.

Edit a Saved Password

Chrome doesn’t let you edit directly in the list, but you can update an entry by following these steps: Click the Edit button. In the dialog that appears, update the Username andPassword fields as needed. Click Save.

Delete Saved Passwords

Warning: This permanently deletes every password stored in Chrome. Make sure you’ve backed up any important credentials first. You have two options: remove individual passwords or clear all saved passwords.

Delete One Entry

1. In the passwords list, click the target entry to get in, then click the Delete button to finish.

2. Chrome immediately discards that username/password combination.

Delete All Saved Passwords

In the Google Password Manager page, click the Settings tab, then choose Delete data, and click Delete on the confirm prompt.

Use Wise Disk Cleaner to Remove Them All Regularly

For security reasons, if you want to clean saved passwords in Google Chrome regularly, it’s recommended to use Wise Disk Cleaner, a tiny, free, and practical cleaning tool. It allows you to regularly clean up useless and outdated junk files, browser traces, cookies, and history, including saved passwords in Chrome. Thus, you don’t need to open Chrome to clean them each time manually.

Step 2. Found the Saved Passwords in Chrome item

Click the Common Cleaner> Traces in Computer> Web Browser Trace, find and check the Google Chrome Saved Passwords item.

Step 3. Set the Auto Clean to Remove Regularly

Click Common Cleaner, find the AutoClean part on the right, schedule a specific time to clean your PC, like 17:00 daily, then enable the AutoClean toggle.

Other Tips:

You can adjust these settings according to your preference for convenience versus security.

Offer to save passwords:

Chrome will prompt you to save credentials when you log in to new sites.

Auto Sign-in:

Chrome automatically signs you in without prompting when it has saved credentials.

Sync Your Passwords Across Devices

If you use Chrome on multiple devices and are signed in with your Google Account, you can:

1. Go to Settings > You and Google > Sync and Google services.

2. Click Manage what you sync. Ensure Passwords is toggled on.

3. All changes you make—view, edit, or delete—will sync across your signed-in devices.
