Having your Facebook password saved on Google Chrome can be convenient, but it also poses security risks if other people use your computer. Fortunately, unsaving your Facebook password in Chrome is a simple process that only takes a few steps.
Why Unsave Your Facebook Password?
There are a few key reasons you may want to unsave your Facebook password on Chrome:
- Privacy – If others use your computer, they could access your Facebook account without your permission.
- Security – Saved passwords are vulnerable if your computer is hacked or infected with malware.
- Sharing your computer – You may share your computer with family or roommates, so unsaving passwords keeps your accounts more secure.
- Public computers – If you log into Facebook on a public or shared computer, you don’t want your password saved for the next user.
By taking a minute to unsave your Facebook password, you can protect your account and personal information from unauthorized access.
How to Unsave Your Facebook Password in Chrome
Here are the step-by-step instructions to remove your saved Facebook password from Google Chrome:
- Open Google Chrome on your computer.
- Click the three vertical dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
- Select “Settings” from the menu.
- On the Settings page, click “Autofill” on the left side.
- Under “Passwords,” find the entry for Facebook.com and click the three dots to the right of it.
- Select “Remove” to delete the saved Facebook password.
Once you complete these steps, your Facebook password will no longer be automatically filled on that device when you go to log into Facebook. You’ll have to manually enter your password each time.
Additional Ways to Unsave Passwords
Here are a couple other ways you can unsave passwords in Google Chrome:
From the Password Manager
- Click the key icon in the top right corner of Chrome.
- Click on the site you want to remove the password for.
- Click the three dots next to the saved password and select “Remove.”
While Logging In
- Go to the Facebook login page.
- Enter your email address and click “Next.”
- When your saved password appears, click the “eye” icon to show it.
- Click the “Remove” button to unsave it.
- Click outside the box to make the popup disappear.
Clearing All Saved Passwords
If you want to remove all your saved passwords from Chrome, not just Facebook, here’s how:
- Open Chrome settings.
- Click “Autofill.”
- Under “Passwords”, click “Clear passwords.”
- Confirm that you want to remove all saved passwords.
This will sign you out of all websites you’re automatically signed into and erases all saved passwords for convenience.
Using a Password Manager Instead
Although removing saved passwords adds an extra step to logging in, you may want to consider using a dedicated password manager like LastPass, 1Password or Dashlane instead.
Benefits of password managers include:
- Safer password storage – Encrypted and secured from hackers.
- Automatic logins – Just like browser password saving.
- Cross-platform access – Use on all devices and browsers.
- Password generator – Create strong, unique passwords.
The tradeoff is you have to set up an account with the password manager service. But they let you unsave passwords while still streamlining logins across all your accounts and devices. Some popular options are:
| Password Manager | Free Option | Paid Option |
|---|---|---|
| LastPass | Limited to one device | $36/year for premium |
| 1Password | None | $35.88/year for individual |
| Dashlane | Limited to 50 passwords | $39.99/year for premium |
The choice comes down to personal preference based on features and pricing. But any password manager provides safer storage and access than browser-saved passwords.
Other Browsers
The steps to unsave passwords are similar in other major browsers:
Firefox
- Click the menu button (three lines) in the top right.
- Select “Logins and Passwords.”
- Find the Facebook login and click “Remove.”
Microsoft Edge
- Click the three-dot menu button.
- Go to “Settings” then “Profile” then “Passwords.”
- Click the three-dot menu next to the Facebook password and select “Delete.”
Safari
- Go to Safari “Preferences” then the “Passwords” tab.
- Select the Facebook password and click “Remove.”
Facebook App Settings
Don’t forget to check the Facebook mobile app itself. You may have Face or Touch ID enabled to automatically log you into Facebook on your iPhone or Android device.
To turn this off:
- iPhone – Go to your Facebook app Settings > Account Settings > Turn off Face ID.
- Android – Go to your Facebook app Settings > Login Settings > Turn off Login Approvals.
Disabling these auto login options provides another layer of security beyond just browser settings.
Conclusion
In summary, here are the key steps to unsave your Facebook password on Chrome and other browsers:
- Open Chrome settings > Autofill > Saved Passwords.
- Find the Facebook password and remove it.
- Consider using a dedicated password manager instead.
- Check your Facebook app settings on mobile.
Taking a minute to delete saved passwords helps protect your accounts and personal information. But you can still simplify logins securely with a good password manager. Be smart, stay safe, and control who has access to your digital life.
