In the authorization form, double-click the right mouse button and click on the login input field - this will open a list of logins saved here. Using the up/down arrow keys, you need to move to the desired one in this list and delete it by pressing the Delete key.
IN Mozilla browser FireFox to selectively delete logins and passwords, open the “Tools” section in the menu and click “Settings”.

The list will expand, but what you need here is not it, but the “Manage Passwords” button - it opens a window with a list of web resources for which the browser has passwords. By clicking the names of sites, you can expand lists of logins related to these sites, select the ones you need and destroy them by clicking the “Delete” button.
IN Google Chrome To edit the list of stored logins/passwords, you need to expand the menu by clicking the wrench icon in the upper right corner.

The best way to thank the author of the article is to repost it on your page
If you are an active user of social networks, then you may be interested in learning how to delete a saved password in Contact, because sometimes we do not need the data that we use to log into a particular site to be saved in the browser.
For example, you forgot your device at home, but you urgently need to log into your VK page and arrange a meeting with a friend. Alternatively, a person can go to a computer club and use another device. But if you do not check the checkbox next to the “Someone else’s computer” option, then the login and password will be saved in the web browser. As a result, any “user” will be able to open your page on the social network using the device after you.
That's why you need to know how to get rid of passwords saved in your browser. This article will discuss the three most popular web browsers: Yandex, Chrome and Opera.
How to delete a saved password in Yandex.Browser
Of course, Yandex.Browser is rightfully considered one of the most popular web browsers today. Made on the same engine as Google Chrome, it also has its advantages. However, now we will not talk about the merits of this browser, but about how to delete a saved password in “Contact” or login data for any other site while working in this web browser.
So, in the right corner, at the top, find a button with three horizontal stripes. By clicking on it, go to the “Settings” section, then scroll down the page and go to additional settings by clicking the corresponding button. Find the “Passwords and Autofill” subsection and click “Manage Passwords”. A window will open where you can select and delete data from any site on which you are registered.
How to delete saved passwords in Opera
Once you have learned how to delete a saved password in Contact in Yandex (browser), we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the steps that need to be performed to perform the same operation in Opera.
So, launch the Opera web browser and open the menu by clicking the button with the browser logo in the upper left corner. In the next step, refer to the “Settings” option and then to the “Security” section. Here you are interested in the “Manage saved passwords” button. Click it, and in the window that appears you will see a list of sites and saved passwords that can be deleted by clicking on the cross.
In addition, you have the opportunity to view the password for a particular resource on which you are registered. To do this, click “Show” opposite the site for which you want to find out the data.
How to remove passwords in Chrome
If you use the Google Chrome web browser, then in order to get rid of saved passwords, you need to perform almost the same steps as in the case of Yandex.Browser.
To get started, go to Chrome settings and click on the “Show advanced settings” link. In the “Passwords and Forms” section, click the “Customize” button, which is located next to the “Offer to save passwords for sites” item. You already know how to delete a saved password in Contact in the Opera and Yandex browsers, so you shouldn’t have any problems with Chrome.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that to carry out this procedure you can also use CCleaner program, the interface of which even an inexperienced user can understand.
Now that you understand how to delete a saved password in “Contact” or on any other site, be sure to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, especially if you forgot to check the “Someone else’s computer” box.
Go to the “Tools” section and select “Delete personal data”. The window that appears will list all types of data stored by the browser. You need to check the box next to “Saved Passwords”. Of course, you can choose other options. To start the removal procedure, click the “Delete Now” button.
In the Opera browser, to delete logins and passwords, you need to go to the “Settings” section in the “Main Menu” and select “Delete personal data” in it. This action will open a dialog box with a collapsed list of the user's personal data stored by the browser. You need to expand it by clicking the mark next to the inscription “Detailed". In the list, check the box next to “Delete”, as well as any other types of data that should be deleted. If you wish, you can click the “Manage Passwords” button and remove everything selectively rather than wholesale. Otherwise, click the “OK” button to start the total cleaning procedure.
In Internet Explorer, perhaps, the path to the desired option is the longest. First, in the browser menu, expand the “Tools” section and select “Internet Options” in it. This will open a properties window, in which, on the “General” tab, in the “Browsing history” section, you should click the button labeled “Delete”. As a result, another window will open, also divided into sections. In the “Passwords” section, click the “Remove Passwords” button. In the next window, confirm the deletion by clicking “Yes”.
IN Google browser Chrome, to delete the list of logins and passwords, you need to click the icon with the image of a wrench in the upper right corner of the window. In the menu that opens, select the “Tools” section, and in it the “Delete data on viewed documents” item. This will open a window with a list of data to be cleared. You can shorten the path to this window if you use the keyboard instead of the mouse - pressing CTRL + SHIFT + DEL also opens this window. Here you need to specify the time limit for data clearing and check the box next to the “Clear saved passwords” item, and finally click the “Delete data on viewed pages” button.
In the Safari browser, to delete the list of logins and passwords, open the “Edit” section in the menu and select “Settings” in it. If you do not have menu display enabled, select the same item by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of the browser window. This will open the settings window, in which you should go to the “Autofill” tab. In the list of autofill web forms, opposite the item “User names and passwords”, you need to click the “Edit” button. In the window that opens with a list of logins, it is possible to delete both individual logins with passwords (the “Delete” button) and all at once (the “Delete all” button).
