New ‘Delete All Data’ Feature Arrives in Google Password Manager

Google has begun rolling out a new “Delete All Data” feature within its Password Manager, allowing users to mass-delete saved passwords and passkeys efficiently. This enhancement addresses previous limitations where users had to remove credentials individually, a process that could be time-consuming, especially for those with extensive password lists. ​

Currently, this feature is available to users running beta versions of Google Play Services, specifically versions 25.09.60 and 25.10.31. To access the feature, users can navigate to the Password Manager settings, where the “Delete All Data” option is located beneath the import and export passwords settings. ​

The introduction of this feature is particularly beneficial for users transitioning to alternative password management solutions. It allows for a swift and comprehensive removal of all stored credentials, ensuring that sensitive information does not remain in the previous manager. This aligns with best practices in credential management, where maintaining passwords across multiple platforms can increase security risks.

Prior to this update, deleting all saved credentials required users to clear all browsing data, a method that also removed browsing history, autofill form data, and site settings. The new “Delete All Data” option provides a more targeted approach, enabling users to manage their credentials without affecting other browser data.

This development is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to enhance user security and convenience. The company has also been testing AI-powered automated password changes in response to security breaches, further demonstrating its commitment to protecting user data. ​

While the “Delete All Data” feature is currently limited to beta users, a broader rollout is anticipated in the coming weeks. Users interested in this functionality should ensure their devices are updated to the latest version of Google Play Services and monitor for updates that may bring this feature to the stable release.
