How to delete all saved passwords at once in Chrome, Edge, Brave & Firefox

🌐 Google Chrome

The most efficient way to completely purge your credential registry is through Chrome's native data management utility:

1. Open Chrome.
2. Click the three-dot menu button in the top right corner.
3. Hover over Passwords and autofill.
4. Click Google Password Manager.
5. Click Settings in the left menu.
6. Locate the "Delete all Google Password Manager data" option and click the Delete data button.
7. Click Delete on the final prompt to confirm.

🌐 Microsoft Edge

Microsoft has removed the passwords checkbox from the standard history-clearing menu. Because Edge lacks a built-in "Delete All" utility, you must use this file purge workaround to wipe your credentials. Note: If you do not sync your data to a Microsoft Account, skip straight to Step 2.

Step 1: Turn Off Password Sync (Only if signed into a Microsoft Account)

If you sync your browser data, you must stop Edge from automatically downloading your passwords back from the cloud before deleting them locally:

1. Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
2. Click the Sync option. (If it says "Sign in to sync data," your sync is already off—skip straight to Step 2).
3. Locate the Passwords and passkeys toggle and switch it off.

Step 2: Purge the local password database

These steps delete the actual credential file from your computer's hard drive:

1. Close Microsoft Edge completely.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. If you see any Microsoft Edge processes still running under the list, right-click them and select End task.
3. Press the Windows ⊞ + R to open the Run command box.
4. Paste the following folder path and click OK:
   %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\
5. Open the folder named Default (or Profile 1, Profile 2 if you use multiple browser profiles).
6. Scroll down, locate, and permanently delete these two specific database files: Login Data and Login Data-journal.

Step 3: Wipe cloud backups from Microsoft's servers (Only if signed into a Microsoft Account)

To ensure your passwords never sync back to this or any other device in the future, clear Microsoft's servers:

1. Reopen Microsoft Edge (your local password list will now be completely empty).
2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Click the Sync option.
4. Click the Reset sync button. This permanently deletes your saved passwords from Microsoft's cloud servers so they can never sync back to your devices.

🌐 Brave Browser

Brave uses the same core architecture as Chrome, allowing you to wipe your entire login vault from a single settings layout:

1. Open Brave.
2. Click the three-line menu button in the top right corner.
3. Hover over Passwords and autofill.
4. Click Password Manager.
5. Click Settings in the left menu.
6. Locate the "Delete all Password Manager data" option and click the Delete data button.
7. Click Delete on the final prompt to confirm.

🌐 Mozilla Firefox

Firefox handles passwords inside its native credential vault rather than the history cleaner menu:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
3. Select Passwords from the menu.
4. In the right-hand panel of the logins page, click the three dots (...) icon in the top right corner.
5. Click Remove All Passwords in the dropdown menu.
6. Check the final safety warning box on the popup confirmation, then click Remove All to finalize the purge.
