Windows 11 several accesses to website

[tomfarney]

I had moved to another area and when I try to remember passwords/access names I get errors from the websites..
I have different sites with different names/sources historically, from XP, WIndows 7, 8.1,10 and now with 11.
I suspect that Windows remember passwords/usernames from history. How do I delete the older ones?

Hello tomfarney, It sounds like you're experiencing challenges with managing and clearing old passwords and usernames that Windows might be remembering. The good news is that Windows provides ways to manage stored credentials, allowing you to remove outdated or incorrect information to prevent login errors. Below, I'll guide you through the steps to clear these credentials.

Clearing Stored Passwords and Usernames in Windows​

Using Credential Manager​

Windows includes a built-in tool called Credential Manager to manage saved credentials. Here’s how you can clear stored passwords and usernames:

1. Open Credential Manager
   • Press Win + S to open the search bar.
   • Type Credential Manager and press Enter.
   []Deleting Web Credentials
   • Click on the Web Credentials tab.
   • Browse through the list and look for the old or unnecessary credentials.
   • Click the drop-down arrow next to the credential you want to delete.
   • Click on Remove.
   []Deleting Windows Credentials
   • Click on the Windows Credentials tab.
   • Similar to web credentials, look for the old or unnecessary entries.
   • Click on the drop-down arrow next to the credential and select Remove.

     Using the Command Prompt​

     You can also remove stored credentials using the Command Prompt with a dedicated command.
   []Open Command Prompt
   • Press Win + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   []Running the Command
   • Type the following command:

      rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

   • This will open the Stored User Names and Passwords dialog.
   • From here, you can select and remove the saved credentials.

     Clearing Browser-Specific Credentials​

     Depending on the web browser you are using, you might also need to clear saved passwords from within the browser's settings.

     Microsoft Edge​

   []Open Edge and click on the three dots (menu) in the upper-right corner. []Go to Settings. []Select Profiles from the left panel. []Go to Passwords. []Delete any saved passwords that are outdated or incorrect.

   Google Chrome​
