Almost everyone knows that Google Chrome offers the possibility to save the passwords of a website that you have opened and on which you have navigated, thanks to the built-in function. But sometimes we need to change or delete these passwords. If you are wondering how to delete or change the passwords saved in Google Chrome, this article will help you understand how to do it. Click the 'Manage saved passwords' button to see the saved passwords. Click the website from which you want to retrieve the password to select it. Click the 'Show Password' button to see the password.
I often have to log into a site that encrypts passwords in-browser before sending them to the server. Because of how passwords are handled, Google Chrome captures the encrypted version of the password, not the original. This means that upon entering the site again, it automatically enters my username and the encrypted password, which is re-encrypted, and which causes it to register a bad password.
Is there any way to manually edit the password stored in the browser? Where are the passwords physically stored, especially in Ubuntu?
- Good work, and good chrome password editing, you can view viewing chrome in my article
- Frowny,Any luck with the workaround from FIDELIS? Or are you still getting two separate entries for the same site?Aibek
- Well from the Options->Show Saved Passwords menu, delete the old password. Then re-login again and save the correct password. Hope it helps.
- I suppose you should check out LastPass, cause its one awesome piece of software with which u have total control over ur passwords and login data. With the great browser extension support u dont have to worry even if ur sitting in front of some another PC.
- I tried the workaround suggested by FIDELIS and and logged in. It worked the first time, but upon trying to log in a second time, it reverted to entering the already encrypted version. looking at the saved passwords, it shows two separate entries for the same website and uses the wrong one. I deleted the encrypted version, logged in logged out, and again it enters the hashed password, again there are two entries. Any ideas?
