View, Manage, and Export Saved Passwords in Your Browser

How to find saved passwords, delete them, export them, and control auto-fill in every major browser

Every major browser has a built-in password manager that saves your login credentials. Here is how to view, manage, export, and delete saved passwords in your browser — plus why you might want to switch to a dedicated password manager.

Viewing saved passwords:

  1. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
  2. Go to Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager
  3. You will see a list of saved sites — click any entry to view the username and password
  4. Click the eye icon to reveal the password (you will need to enter your device password or use biometrics)

You can also go directly to chrome://password-manager/passwords in the address bar.

Deleting a saved password:

  1. Open Google Password Manager (steps above)
  2. Click the entry you want to remove
  3. Click Delete

Exporting passwords:

  1. Open Google Password Manager
  2. Click Settings in the left sidebar
  3. Under Export passwords, click Download file
  4. Confirm with your device password
  5. Choose where to save the .csv file

The exported CSV is a plain text file with all your usernames and passwords visible. Delete it immediately after use.

Turning off "save password" prompts:

  1. Go to chrome://password-manager/settings
  2. Toggle off Offer to save passwords

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to export passwords as a CSV file?▾

No. The CSV file contains every username and password in plain text with no encryption. Anyone who can access the file can read all your credentials. Export only when you need to (like importing into a password manager), and delete the CSV immediately after.

Can I sync browser passwords across devices?▾

Yes, if you are signed into the browser with your account (Google account for Chrome, Firefox account for Firefox, Apple ID for Safari, Microsoft account for Edge). Passwords sync automatically between devices using the same browser and account.

What happens if I delete a saved password?▾

It is permanently removed from that browser's password manager. If sync is enabled, it will also be deleted from all other devices signed into the same account. This does not change your actual password on the website — it just removes the saved copy.

Why does my browser keep asking to save passwords after I turned it off?▾

Some browsers have the setting in multiple places. Make sure you also check AutoFill settings and any password manager extensions you have installed, as they have their own save prompts separate from the browser's built-in one.

Can I use both a browser password manager and a dedicated one?▾

You can, but it gets confusing fast. Both will compete to fill in login forms, and you will end up with passwords saved in two places. Pick one and disable the other for a cleaner experience.
