I am a dev. I have over 300 saved passwords like test12 and crap. Tapping every url I’ve ever logged into is complete BS. Give me a checkbox list to mass delete like contacts and stuff. Why would you intentionally make password cleanup hard unless you want them for some reason. Grrrr….

Is there a way to restore the deleted passwords? I actually need them and didn’t mean to delete them.

So does anyone know if you used a group policy to delete the data file, and the user account was authenticated to Chrome, would it remove all the passwords that are upstream in the cloud, or would it just re-populate the data file from the cloud data during the next profile sync??

You can delete all passwords at once by going the history>clear browsing data and making sure the box beside passwords is checked, and then hit clear history. If you are signed out of your google account it will only clear the data on your local browser, but if you are logged in to your google account it will clear all your synced data on the browser and the google account it was synced too.
