Automating saved passwords in Google Chrome deletion

Hi all,

Is there any script we can send to an Android device so we can delete all saved passwords, all times?

We can do some preparation sending the legacy script commands:

  kill_application com.android.chrome

  wipeapplication com.android.chrome

but no luck trying to delete all the saved passwords without having to uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome.

Any ideas?

As far as i know those credentials are stored in the credential manager (com.android.credentialmanager).

Be carefull testing it but i guess this should be the right one.

Hi Rafael,

I tried but no luck. Kill_application didn't close the Credential Manager, and tried to wipeapplication with same results.

Any app that shows real package/bundle names running in Android so we can discover what is the real name or process managing saved passwords?

Thank you very much in advance.

Additionally, you can try the following script with the Chrome package and let us know if it works for you:

sendinfo package-bundleID clearcache

Hi Abmod,

Thank you for your message, same as for Rafael.

   // Have you had a chance to test the solutions suggested by Raymond and Rafael? Did they successfully resolve your issue?

I tried what Rafael suggested with no luck, saved passwords in Google Chrome are not deleted/removed.

No idea who Raymond is or what already suggested. Where is his comment? Could you copy the link to his message?

  // Additionally, you can try the following script with the Chrome package and let us know if it works for you:

sendinfo package-bundleID clearcache

I sent the command you suggested: "sendinfo com.android.chrome clearcache" using Legacy type of script to the Android device but no error, no message at all on the device, saved passwords stilll there.

Any idea how to automate uninstalling and installing again Googe Chrome app (com.android.chrome) using scripts (Legacy or JavaScript)?

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Maybe in the future we can deploy Chrome Enterprise edition and change some settings for doing that.

Currently we want to clear all saved passwords, so we can avoid clearing them going one-by-one tablet at a time.
