Disable Google Password Manager

To turn off Google Password Manager, disable password-saving offers, automatic sign-in, and password autofill separately on each browser or device where you use them.

What should you know before you disable Google Password Manager?

Google Password Manager can save new credentials, suggest saved credentials, fill sign-in fields, and sign you in automatically. These controls are separate, so turning off one may leave the others active.

After you disable Google Password Manager features, expect these changes:

• Chrome may stop asking whether you want to save new passwords.
• You may need to type usernames and passwords yourself.
• Turning off automatic sign-in can add a confirmation step without stopping password suggestions.
• Settings may apply only to the current Chrome profile, Google Account, or device.

Disabling password saving or autofill does not automatically delete existing passwords. Review saved credentials separately before removing anything, especially if you do not know the passwords for your accounts.

How do you turn off password saving in Chrome on a computer?

To disable Google Password Manager in Chrome on a Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS computer:

1. Open Chrome.
2. Select your profile icon near the upper-right corner, then select Passwords. If Passwords is not shown, select the three-dot menu, Passwords and autofill, and Google Password Manager.
3. Select Settings in the left menu.
4. Turn off Offer to save passwords and passkeys.

This will stop Chrome password manager prompts for new credentials in that Chrome profile. Repeat the steps in every profile you use, including a separate work or school profile.

If Chrome still fills existing credentials, password saving is off but autofill remains available. Remove the saved entry or change the relevant autofill setting if you also want to disable Google password autofill.

How do you disable Google Password Manager on Android?

Android may use Google Password Manager both in Chrome and in other apps. Turn off saving prompts first:

1. Open Chrome on the Android device.
2. Tap the three-dot menu, then Settings.
3. Tap Google Password Manager.
4. Tap Settings near the lower-right corner.
5. Turn off Offer to save passwords.

You can also open the Android Settings app, search for Password Manager, select Password Manager, open its Settings, and turn off Offer to save passwords. Menu names can differ by Android version and device maker.

To stop Chrome from using Google for autofill, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, Settings, and Autofill services. Review the selected service and disable Google autofill if your version provides an off option. Android system settings may also have a preferred autofill service or autofill toggle; set it to None or turn it off when that choice is available. Changing Chrome’s autofill service may require Chrome to restart.

How do you disable Google Password Manager on an iPhone or iPad?

On an iPhone or iPad, Chrome controls its password-saving offers while iOS controls which providers can fill passwords across apps.

To stop Chrome from saving passwords:

1. Open Chrome.
2. Tap the three-dot menu, then Password Manager.
3. Tap Settings at the lower-left corner.
4. Turn off Offer to Save Passwords.

To stop Google password autofill through iOS:

1. Open the iPhone or iPad Settings app.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap AutoFill & Passwords.
4. Turn off Chrome as an autofill source. To stop all password providers from filling credentials, turn off AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys.

On some iOS versions, the provider choices appear only while AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys is enabled. Turning off Chrome prevents Google Password Manager entries from being offered through the iOS password sheet but does not erase them.

How do you disable automatic sign-in in Google Password Manager?

Automatic sign-in uses saved credentials without first asking you to confirm them. You can disable automatic sign-in Google Password Manager while keeping saved passwords available for manual selection.

On a computer:

1. Open Chrome and open Google Password Manager from the profile icon or from the three-dot menu under Passwords and autofill.
2. Select Settings.
3. Turn off Sign in automatically.

On Android, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, Settings, Google Password Manager, and Settings, then turn off Auto sign-in. The next time a supported site or app offers saved credentials, you may need to select or confirm the account.

How do you remove saved passwords from Google Password Manager?

Turning off Google Password Manager does not remove saved passwords from your Google Account or passwords stored locally in a Chrome profile.

To remove an individual password on a computer:

1. Open Chrome, then open Google Password Manager.
2. Select Passwords and choose the relevant site or app entry.
3. Confirm your identity if requested.
4. Select Delete and confirm the removal.

On Android or an iPhone or iPad, open Chrome, open Google Password Manager or Password Manager, select the saved entry, and tap Delete. If sync is active, deleting an account-saved credential can remove it from other devices signed in to the same Google Account. A locally stored password affects only that Chrome profile or device.

Deleting a saved credential does not close the account or change the password at the site. Make sure you can sign in another way before deleting the only copy you have.

What should you do if Google Password Manager still appears?

If Google Password Manager still saves, suggests, or fills passwords, check each possible source:

• Account sync: Confirm which Google Account is signed in and whether passwords are syncing to that account.
• Chrome profiles: Repeat the changes in every personal, guest, work, or school profile you use.
• Device autofill: Check Android’s preferred autofill service or iOS Settings under General and AutoFill & Passwords.
• Separate controls: Verify that Offer to save passwords, Sign in automatically, and the device autofill setting are all off when you want none of these features.
• Managed settings: A work or school administrator may control Chrome settings. A managed setting may be locked; contact the organization’s administrator rather than attempting to bypass the policy.
• Chrome updates: Install the current Chrome update, restart Chrome, and check the settings again because menu labels and locations can change.

If another browser or device continues showing suggestions, change its password and autofill settings separately. Chrome settings on one device do not necessarily turn off prompts everywhere.
