How do I Remove My Google Password from My Device?

Published in Password Management 3 mins read

It appears you're asking how to remove a saved Google password from your Android device, which can be done through Chrome's password manager. You cannot remove your actual Google account password from your device, as that's what you use to sign in. Here's how to remove a saved password:

Steps to Remove a Saved Google Password

Follow these steps to remove a saved Google password using the Chrome browser on your Android device:

  1. Open Chrome: Start by opening the Chrome application on your Android device.
  2. Access More Options: In the top right corner of the screen, tap the More icon (usually represented by three vertical dots).
  3. Go to Settings: Tap Settings from the dropdown menu.
  4. Navigate to Google Password Manager: Look for and tap on Google Password Manager.
  5. Find the Password You Want to Delete: Browse through the list to find the password entry you want to remove.
  6. Delete the Password: Tap on the password you want to delete and then tap the "Delete" option. Depending on your phone's interface, this might be represented by a trash can icon or the word 'Delete.' This action will remove the saved password from your device.

Reference: According to the reference, after tapping on a password, you have the options to "Show, edit, delete, or export a password". This confirms that deleting a saved password through the Google Password Manager is a supported action.

Key Points

  • What is removed? The steps above remove a saved password, not your actual Google account password.
  • What does it mean? Removing a saved password means that Chrome will no longer automatically fill it in for that website or application. You will have to manually type in your password next time.
  • Why do this? Common reasons include: wanting to use a different password, security concerns, or simply not needing the password to be remembered anymore.
  • Other actions: You can also 'Show' the password to reveal it, or 'Edit' it if you want to change it rather than deleting it.
Action Description
Show Displays the saved password.
Edit Allows you to change the saved password.
Delete Removes the saved password from your device.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage saved Google passwords on your Android device.
