Are you tired of seeing your username automatically filled in every time you visit a website on Google Chrome? If so, you’re not alone. Many users find this feature convenient, but it can also be a security risk. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to remove the remember username feature from Google Chrome on both Windows and macOS.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome
First, launch Google Chrome on your computer. Make sure you’re logged in to the account you want to modify.
Step 2: Access Settings
Next, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the Chrome window to open the menu. From the dropdown list, select “Settings.”
Step 3: Go to Privacy and Security
In the Settings page, scroll down and click on “Privacy and security” on the left-hand side of the screen. This section contains various privacy-related settings.
Step 4: Manage Passwords
Under the “Privacy and security” section, find the “Passwords and forms” section and click on “Manage passwords.”
Step 5: Remove the Username
On the Manage passwords page, you’ll see a list of all the websites you’ve saved your username and password for. To remove a specific username, click on the three dots next to the website and select “Remove.”
Step 6: Clear Browsing Data
If you want to remove all the saved usernames and passwords from Google Chrome, you can clear your browsing data. Go back to the Settings page, click on “Privacy and security,” and then scroll down to the “Clear browsing data” section. Select the time range you want to clear and check the boxes for “Passwords and forms.” Click “Clear data” to remove all the saved information.
Step 7: Turn Off Auto-fill
To prevent Google Chrome from saving usernames and passwords in the future, you can turn off the auto-fill feature. Go back to the Settings page, click on “Privacy and security,” and then scroll down to the “Passwords and forms” section. Under “Auto-fill,” click on “Manage auto-fill preferences.” Uncheck the boxes for “Username and password” and “Addresses and credit cards.” This will prevent Chrome from automatically filling in your information on websites.
By following these steps, you can easily remove the remember username feature from Google Chrome and enhance your online privacy and security.
