How to delete a single cached username from Chrome?
Somewhere along the line I accidentally typed my password into the username field on a website in Chrome. Now every time I go back to that site my password is shown as an option to fill as my username. I didn't specifically save the username/password combo, it is just the little drop down that appears when you start to type.
Is it possible to clear this single item? I would rather not have to clear all form data.
Solution 1:
Go to Options → Personal Stuff → Manage Saved Passwords, hover over what you want to delete, and then click the x.
UPDATE (credits to camster342): It's now in Settings -> Show Advanced Settings... and Manage Passwords is the second link under the Passwords and Forms section.
If the data you want to delete is not a password but rather a saved form follow this:
When you type in a form field, a menu may appear, containing past text that you've typed in the field. To delete a specific piece of saved text, select it in the menu using the arrows on your keyboard, then press Shift+Delete.

On Mac OS it's Fn+Backspace or Fn+Shift+Delete.
Solution 2:
It is possible to delete the single or all the username from the Google user-box. Simply select the require username by keyboard arrows. Then use Shift+Delete.
Solution 3:
- Open a web page in which a data field showing the problematic value appears
- Double-click the field to make it show its drop down
- Highlight the problematic value with your mouse
- Press Shift+Delete
The value disappears and won't bother you again.
Solution 4:
On Mac you highlight what you want to delete and then click "shift" "fn" and "command" all at once and then click the delete and it will be deleted from the username section
Solution 5:
I had trouble finding the site using Settings -> Show Advanced Settings -> Managed Saved Passwords, but was able to find the site using https://passwords.google.com. Then you just click the X to delete your username/password for the site.
