Since I am not logged in, Chrome Sync won’t work. This action stops Chrome Sync right in its tracks, deletes all my data stored on the Google servers, and also forcibly logs me out of Chrome on each of my other devices.Īnd that means I can then launch Chrome on any device without fearing that I would lose the deleted passwords that are still stored on them.Īfter reset, Google servers no longer have my data, and Chrome should start syncing my locally stored browsing data on the device Once I realize my mistake, I proceed to reset Chrome Sync on the same device.

While that’s more than possible, this workaround restores all your passwords as they were, thus preventing you from arduously noting down passwords - in some cases dozens of them - and other login details manually. Now obviously, you might be thinking that what I’m going to talk about involves disabling internet access to the device to prevent Chrome from syncing and then recovering the passwords individually. So if you only deleted your passwords a moment ago, absolutely DO NOT go ahead and open Chrome on your other devices just yet. Thankfully, Chrome still lay unopened on my Android smartphone ever since the incident. At the same time, I had Chrome on my iPad open, so that was a no-go. In my case, I deleted my passwords accidentally on a desktop. Otherwise, Chrome would have already synced the changes, thus rendering the following workaround useless. However, it should also specifically be one that you haven’t yet used after the debacle with deleting your passwords.
