How to Remove Saved Passwords from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari

Editor's note: This post was originally published March 11, 2025, and has been updated to reflect new security findings, including a May 2025 disclosure about Microsoft Edge.

Saving passwords in browsers might seem convenient, but it poses significant security risks. Browsers are common targets for cyberattacks. If a hacker gains access to your browser, they can easily retrieve your saved passwords. Additionally, anyone with physical access to your device can potentially view your stored passwords, compromising your accounts.

Using a dedicated password manager instead provides a more secure solution, as these tools offer robust encryption and additional security features designed specifically to protect your sensitive information. Prioritizing password security helps safeguard your personal and professional data from unauthorized access.

Edge

• Type edge://settings/autofill/passwords in the address bar and press Enter.
• Under Saved passwords, check the box next to each password you want to remove, or check the box at the top to select all.
• Click Delete to remove the selected passwords.

Note: As of Edge 146 (March 2026), Microsoft removed passwords from the Clear browsing data menu. Passwords can only be deleted from the password manager directly using the steps above.

How to add Edge browser extension

A note on Edge security: In May 2025, Norwegian security researcher Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning disclosed that Microsoft Edge decrypts every saved password at startup and keeps all of them in plaintext in process memory for the entire browser session, even for credentials you never use. Microsoft confirmed the behavior is intentional, stating it reflects a design decision balancing performance and usability. In contrast, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers only decrypt a password when it is needed and use application-bound encryption to prevent other processes from accessing credentials.

Advice from STACK Cybersecurity: Don't store passwords in Edge. Migrate to a dedicated password manager and delete all credentials from the browser. Do this for all browsers.

• macOS Sonoma (14) and earlier: Open Safari and click Safari in the top menu bar. Select Settings (Ventura and later) or Preferences (Monterey and earlier).

Why You Should Delete Browser Passwords

• Security vulnerabilities: Browser password storage is typically less secure than dedicated password managers, making your accounts vulnerable to attackers.
• Unauthorized access: Anyone with physical access to your device can potentially view your stored browser passwords.

By following the steps outlined above and using a dedicated password manager like Keeper, you will significantly enhance your security posture and protect your sensitive information from unauthorized access.
