How to delete a single cached username from Chrome?

Go to OptionsPersonal StuffManage Saved Passwords, hover over what you want to delete, and then click the x.

UPDATE (credits to camster342): It's now in Settings -> Show Advanced Settings... and Manage Passwords is the second link under the Passwords and Forms section.

If the data you want to delete is not a password but rather a saved form follow this:

When you type in a form field, a menu may appear, containing past text that you've typed in the field. To delete a specific piece of saved text, select it in the menu using the arrows on your keyboard, then press Shift+Delete.

On Mac OS it's Fn+Backspace or Fn+Shift+Delete.


It is possible to delete the single or all the username from the Google user-box. Simply select the require username by keyboard arrows. Then use Shift+Delete.


  1. Open a web page in which a data field showing the problematic value appears
  2. Double-click the field to make it show its drop down
  3. Highlight the problematic value with your mouse
  4. Press Shift+Delete

The value disappears and won't bother you again.
