Chrome Password Remover

Chrome Password Remover, the latest version being 3.0, is an essential free tool designed for quickly removing stored website login passwords from Google Chrome. Created by SecurityXploded, this program helps to manage the inherent risks associated with Chrome's default behavior of storing login credentials in a local database file called 'Login Data'. This can be particularly dangerous in shared computers or public systems like those found in internet cafes.

The program file, ChromePasswordRemover.exe, is compact with a size of just 3.7 MB, making it extremely lightweight. It supports multiple operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and the latest Windows 11. One of the standout features of this software is its ability to handle credentials from Chrome profiles belonging to different users on the local system or even profiles on other systems.

In addition to the newest version 3.0, previous versions such as 1.0 are also available, catering to different preferences and requirements users might have. Categorized under "Security" and more specifically within "Privacy", this tool offers valuable features such as instant decryption and recovery of stored web login passwords, support for all versions of Google Chrome, and comprehensive functionality to remove either selected passwords or all stored passwords with just one click.

One of its attractive features is the ability to create backup password reports in several formats including HTML, XML, and TEXT. Furthermore, Chrome Password Remover auto-detects the current Chrome profile location and supports drag & drop for selecting profile paths. It’s a GUI-based tool that is both free and easy to use, and it is fully portable, requiring no additional components like JAVA or .NET to run. An installer is included for those who prefer local installation with easy uninstallation options.

Pros:

• Free and easy to use
• Works on all major versions of Windows
• Supports different Chrome profiles and systems
• Creates backup reports in multiple formats

Cons:

• Only supports removal of passwords, not other forms of data
