How to Remove Autofill Passwords, but Only From One Device

If you would like to turn off or remove your autofill passwords from one device, you must turn off sync and then delete your cache so that your passwords aren’t saved on that device anymore. With sync turned off, your browser will no longer check online for any saved passwords tied to your Google account. Alternatively, you can just sign out of your Google account too, but you’ll lose any saved websites, browsing history, or other data. Either way, you must delete your cache after. We will explain both methods below, and then after that we’ll explain how you can delete your cache. To Remove Autofill Passwords, but Remain Logged In

You now have two options. You can turn off syncing for everything, or just turn off password syncing. For the first option, simply click turn off next to the syncing to …@email.com at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can turn off syncing for passwords, but keep other synced data on. To do this, instead click Sync and Google services just below the turn off option. On the following page, you can click Manage Sync – this will take you to a page where you can pick and choose which features to turn off syncing for. First, click the Sync everything switch to move it into the off position. This will then unlock the other options. After that, click the Passwords switch to turn password syncing off.

On the new tab, click the profile icon in the top right. The one inside the actual page, not on the browser navigation bar. Next, click sign out on the dropdown box that appears.
