1 Clear Windows saved passwords from Credentials
2 Clear saved passwords in Chrome

Saving our passwords In Windows is a decision that will depend on the type of use you have on your computer. Having our passwords saved in Windows can have benefits such as the use of the credential manager that we will see today, where our passwords can be encrypted and protected, preventing them from falling into places where they are at some type of risk. In addition, having our passwords saved gives us comfort since our system will remember them every time we need them and will complete them automatically, helping us save time and effort and avoiding having to enter them every time we want to log in..

 

In addition to having passwords stored in our system, we can also save them within our browser since it is a tool that we use a lot to log in to different places. In this case, Chrome saved passwords also allow us to quickly log in to a website without having to continuously enter the data. What we do recommend is that you take the step of deleting passwords saved on the PC when you think they are not safe or if the computer is going to be used by another user, since they could consult them and put your privacy at risk.
