I had never given much thought to the implications of saving my passwords in Chrome so thanks for pointing this out.

Now I'd like to remove my saved passwords but visiting chrome://settings/passwords and removing them one at a time will take forever; can anyone tell me how to remove them in bulk?



Select the first, scroll down, hold shift and select the last, click the delete button of any row and all will be deleted.

Don't forget to turn of the option to save passwords, and optionally install a password manager extension (I use 1Password).


Thanks, the UI doesn't make it very clear that you can select rows so I missed that.

I use 1Password religiously but until now I'd been lazily saving passwords in Chrome as well to avoid the hassle of entering my master password. I feel slightly ashamed that I just assumed Chrome stored them "securely" and didn't give it any more thought.
