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.

Go to options, personal stuff, managed saved passwords, hover over what you want to delete, and then click the x.

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)

The one I am referring to does not show up here because I didn't actually save the password. – Kellenjb Jun 28 '11 at 13:45

Awesome. Exactly what I needed. Thank you. – Kellenjb Jun 28 '11 at 14:04
NP :) (and now for padding :)) – soandos Jun 28 '11 at 14:05
Just to let you know, I realise this is a pretty old answer, but the location of that option has changed... It's now in Settings -> Show Advanced Settings... and Managed Saved Passwords is the second link under the Passwords and Forms section. – camster342 Jan 19 at 23:03
