Manage your website passwords

Google Chrome can save your usernames and passwords for different websites. The browser can then automatically complete the sign-in fields for you when you next visit these websites.

These passwords are stored in the same system that contains your saved passwords from other browsers. On a Mac, Google Chrome uses the Keychain Access to store your login information.

All these passwords -- including the passwords you've saved from other browsers -- can be synced to your Google Account, so that they are available on other computers you're using.

Choose whether you want to save passwords
  1. Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. Adjust your password settings in the "Passwords and forms" section:
    • Select "Offer to save passwords I enter on the web" if you want Google Chrome to prompt you to save your password every time you sign in to a new website.

Using a Chrome device at work or school? Your network administrator might choose whether you can save passwords, in which case you can't change this setting here. Learn about using a managed Chrome device

  1. Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. Click Manage saved passwords in the "Passwords and forms" section to see a list of all the usernames and passwords that have been saved.
    • Windows, Linux, and Chrome devices users: In the Passwords dialog that appears, use your mouse to hover over the site whose password you'd like to remove and click the X that appears on the right.
    • Mac users: You can remove your passwords in the Keychain Access dialog that appears.

You can also use the Clear Browsing Data dialog to remove all password records saved during a specific time period.

Change password settings for specific sites

If you choose to let Google Chrome save website passwords, you'll see a prompt every time you sign in to a new website. If you click Never for this site in the prompt, your password for the site is not saved and the site is added to a list of passwords that are never saved.

You can edit this list:

  1. Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. Click Manage saved passwords.
  5. In the Passwords dialog that appears, scroll down to the "Never saved" section at the bottom.
  6. To remove a site from this list, select it and click the X that appears the end of the row.

Now revisit the website and you should see the prompt to save your password information again, if you've allowed Google Chrome to show the prompt.
