How To Stop a Site from Remembering me?

There’s this one site that I visit that autofills my username/password and I don’t want it to. I try going to Chrome - Settings - All Cookies and Data… and then type in the particular site address. It doesn’t work. The site still manages to have my username/password ready to login for me. How can I stop this just for this one site?

Hi @premack,

I find it very unlikely that a site would do this, even if they had the means available.

Have you checked Chrome’s password manager? It could have been active when you logged in some time, and it could be it’s still activated and are the culprit here.

Please visit https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95606 for more info.

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More Settings.
  3. At the bottom, click Show advanced settings.
  4. Under “Passwords and forms,” click Manage passwords. A box will appear with a list of saved passwords.
  5. In the “Saved passwords” section, select the website and click Show.
    • Windows & Mac: If you lock your computer with a password, you’ll be prompted to enter your computer password.
  6. The website password will appear.

Fyi, in the future you can also browse in incognito mode so no website will remember your details and no cookies are been saved on your computer.
