Find and Manage Saved Passwords in Your Browser

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

1. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select Settings.
2. In the left panel, click Autofill and passwords > Google Password Manager.
3. 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).
4. Use the edit (pencil) or delete (bin) icons to update or remove any entry.

Microsoft Edge

1. Click the three-dot menu and go to Settings > Passwords.
2. 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.
3. You can also search by site name using the search box at the top.

Mozilla Firefox

1. Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) and select Passwords.
2. Firefox opens the Passwords screen. Search or scroll to find a site.
3. Click an entry to see the username. Click the eye icon to reveal the password.
4. 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.
