Modern browsers include a built-in password manager that saves your login credentials as you go. This is convenient, but it's worth knowing how to access, manage, and clean up those saved passwords — especially on a shared PC.
Google Chrome
- Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select Settings.
- In the left panel, click Autofill and passwords > Google Password Manager.
- You'll see a list of all saved sites. Click any entry to view the username; click the eye icon next to the password to reveal it (you may need to enter your Windows/Mac login to confirm).
- Use the edit (pencil) or delete (bin) icons to update or remove any entry.
Microsoft Edge
- Click the three-dot menu and go to Settings > Passwords.
- Saved passwords are listed by website. Click the eye icon to show a password, or the three-dot icon next to an entry to edit or delete it.
- You can also search by site name using the search box at the top.
Mozilla Firefox
- Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) and select Passwords.
- Firefox opens the Passwords screen. Search or scroll to find a site.
- Click an entry to see the username. Click the eye icon to reveal the password.
- Use the Edit or Remove buttons to manage entries.
Tips for Managing Saved Passwords
- Remove passwords for sites you no longer use — less clutter and less risk if your browser account is ever compromised.
- Enable a primary password (Firefox) or use a device lock to prevent anyone who opens your browser from seeing saved passwords.
- Consider a dedicated password manager like Bitwarden (free and open source) if you want cross-device sync with stronger encryption.
- Never save passwords in a browser on a shared or public PC.
If you can't find a password you thought was saved, it may have been saved in a different browser profile or not saved at all. Ask us and we can help narrow it down.
