How to delete specific autofill entries from Google Chrome?

Question

Not too long ago, Google Chrome allowed users to delete specific autofill entries - either by going into their “Settings -> Autofill Settings -> Delete” the specific entries, or by going to the form you want to delete the autofill entry for, mousing over / pressing down on your keyboard and then pressing Shift+Delete.

Neither of these two methods appear to work any more.

Does anyone know how to delete specific autofill entries from Google Chrome?

Note: I don’t want to delete my passwords / manage passwords. Going to “Settings -> Advanced -> Passwords & Forms -> Autofill” settings doesn’t solve my problem.

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del and clearing autofill settings is not what I want; I want to delete specific autofill entries.

Answer 1

Hopefully I haven't oversimplified but I think there'll be enough to answer your question.

Step 1 - For example, click in the "Username" field/input box and press the down arrow (this will bring up a list of remembered "username" auto-fill entries)

Step 2 - Use the down arrow key to highlight the username (auto-fill entry) you want to delete

Step 3 - Press shift+delete (use shift+fn+backspace on MacBook or shift+alt+backspace on Chromebook)

Done.

Answer 2

For macOS:

Shift + Fn + Delete (backspace)

Answer 3

Based on Brian R. Quigley method:

After clicking inside any auto fill field, you can hover by mouse on the desired entry then press Shift+Delete.

Answer 4

On a mac, adding the Fn. key is only needed when you have the short keyboard, in the long full sized keyboard you can use Shift+delete keys same as in windows the reason for this is the default del key in the short keyboard is actually a backspace key, but pressing Fn key will turn it to Del

If it’s bookmarked, it won’t be deleted when you press fn+shift+delete. You have to delete the bookmark first.

It looks to me like google has moved the chrome settings around. I'm not sure if this has to do with your issue, but I just deleted a specific autofill entry by going to settings > passwords (under people just below sync). I also turned off "offer to save passwords" because that was the source of my pain. Random people who logged into amazon in my case, were cluttering my AWS login autofill...
