It will ask you for the DEVICE password (your normal computer/device login password). That can be confusing – you don’t need to know the website password to delete it – just the DEVICE password. Then click the three dots beside the saved entry and click remove/delete/trash-bin – it depends on your device.

3 – How to Edit a Saved Password in Chrome

Click the eye and enter your device password as before, but click the pencil icon (or the word ‘edit’) to change the password to the correct one.

4 – How to Remove a Site from the “Never Saved” List in Chrome

Find the site in the list.

Click the X next to it to remove it.

Next time you log in on that site, Chrome will prompt you to save the password.
