I asked AI "How can i remove the password on chrome on linux"<br>
<br>
AI said:<br>
<br>
To remove the saved passwords in Google Chrome on Linux, you need to <br>
follow these steps:<br>
<br>
Open Google Chrome.<br>
Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the <br>
browser window.<br>
Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.<br>
Scroll down and click on "Passwords" under the "Autofill" section.<br>
Here, you'll see a list of saved passwords. Click on the three-dot <br>
menu icon next to the password you want to remove.<br>
Select "Remove" from the dropdown menu.<br>
Confirm the removal when prompted.<br>
<br>
If you want to remove the password for your Chrome profile altogether, <br>
you'll need to reset Chrome settings. Here's how:<br>
<br>
Close Google Chrome if it's open.<br>
Open a terminal window.<br>
Enter the following command and press Enter:<br>
<br>
bash<br>
<br>
rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome<br>
<br>
This command will remove the entire Chrome configuration directory, <br>
including all settings and passwords.<br>
Restart Google Chrome.<br>
<br>
Please note that resetting Chrome settings will remove all your <br>
customizations, bookmarks, saved passwords, and other settings. So make <br>
sure to back up any important data before proceeding.<br>

I have not verified if this is correct so precede with caution.<br>
