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

If you are moving to a dedicated password manager or clearing out a shared computer, leaving your credentials saved in your web browser is a massive security risk.

Instead of deleting them one by one, here is how to completely wipe all your saved passwords at once across the four major browsers.

⚠️ Critical step first: Wiping your browser passwords cannot be undone. Make sure you follow our guide to securely export your credentials to a backup file or import them into a dedicated password manager before proceeding!

How to delete all saved passwords at once in 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.

How to delete all saved passwords at once in 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.

Note: If you do not sync your browser data to a Microsoft Account, you can skip Step 1 and Step 8 entirely, and proceed straight to closing the browser.

  1. Open Edge.
  2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner of Edge.
  3. Click Sync.

    Tip: If the screen reads 'Sign in to sync data,' your cloud sync engine is already disabled—you can skip straight to closing the browser.

  4. Locate the Passwords and passkeys toggle switch and turn it off.
  5. Close Microsoft Edge completely.
  6. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. If any background Microsoft Edge processes are still running in the active list, right-click them and select End task.
  7. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run command box.
  8. Paste the following absolute system directory path into the field:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\
  9. Click OK or press Enter.
  10. Open the folder named Default. If you manage multiple browser profiles, open the corresponding folder path (such as Profile 1 or Profile 2).
  11. Scroll down the list, locate, and permanently delete these two specific database files: Login Data and Login Data-journal.

  12. Reopen Microsoft Edge (your local password list will now be completely empty).
  13. Click your profile icon in the top right corner of Edge.
  14. Click Sync.
  15. Click the Reset sync option button.

    This permanently deletes your saved passwords from Microsoft's cloud servers so they can never sync back to your devices.

How to delete all saved passwords at once in 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.

How to delete all saved passwords at once in Firefox

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

  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Click the three-line menu button 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.
