How to Delete Saved Passwords in Your Browser

If you’re a victim of the latest Twitter malware virus, you may need to clear your cache and delete saved passwords.

If you’re using Mozilla Firefox 3.5+ (the latest version on 16 Nov 2009):

Clear your cache:

Go to Tools –> Options. Open the Advanced tab, then the Network tab under that. Hit the “Clear Now” button:

And you’re done.

Delete saved passwords:

Go to Tools –> Options. Open the Security tab. Hit the “Saved Passwords” button:

Either click the “Remove All” button, or go through the list, delete your twitter password and any other sites you don’t recognize. Then you’re done.

If you’re using Internet Explorer 7:

with the browser open, press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE. This brings up a window that looks like:

Check the boxes as I’ve done in the picture above and click the “Delete” button on that window. That’s it.

If you’re using Safari:

Go to Edit –> Reset Safari

This will bring up a window that looks somewhat like this (I took the screenshot on a PC, but the menu text is the same on a Mac):

Check the boxes as I’ve done in the picture above and click “Reset”. That’s all.

If you’re using Google Chrome:

Click the icon on the right that looks like a spanner:

Select “Options”, then the tab “Personal Stuff”:

Click “Show Saved Passwords” and click “Remove All”. That’s it.

Any problems with that, just let me know in the comments section below.
