Google Chrome is undoubtedly the biggest web browser out there, but it's also one of the most frequently targeted by cyberattacks. Reports of compromised accounts surface regularly, making security a major concern for users.

To be fair, Google has been actively working to combat these threats. However, as someone who relies on Chrome to store almost all my passwords, I can’t help but wonder if it’s safer to keep them off the browser altogether.

In this guide, learn a quick and easy way to remove all your saved passwords from Google Chrome on your PC.

How to Wipe Saved Passwords From Your Google Chrome

After loading up Chrome on your PC, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select the three dots at the top right of the browser

Step 2: Select 'Settings'

Step 3: Search for and select 'Google Password Manager'

Step 4: Select 'Settings' again

Step 5: Click on 'Delete Data'

Conclusion

While Google Chrome offers convenience with its built-in password manager, storing sensitive information in your browser comes with risks. Cyberattacks and data breaches are always a possibility, so taking control of your online security is a smart move.

By removing your saved passwords from Chrome, you reduce the chances of them being exposed in case of a breach. For added security, consider using a dedicated password manager or storing your credentials in other secure ways.
