How to Remove Saved Passwords on Mac Running Sequoia?

I need to remove all the saved passwords on my Mac. I have already upgraded to macOS Sequoia, and I know that the Passwords app is the Sequoia built-in password manager, does it store all my passwords, or do I need to delete passwords from somewhere else on my Mac?

The new Passwords app on macOS Sequoia is said to contain all of your passwords, passkeys, and verification codes. If you enable Passwords in iCloud settings and sign in with the same Apple Account, you can use them across all of your devices. Additionally, your passwords will show up automatically in Passwords if you enable AutoFill to log into websites and apps.

The types of password credentials include App passwords, Website passwords, Sign in with Apple, Passkeys, Verification codes, Wi-Fi passwords, and Passwords shared with groups.

I have also upgraded to macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Air, and I checked the Passwords app, it indeed collects my Safari passwords, some app passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and some passwords synced from my iPhone and iPad, but other login passwords I saved in Chrome don’t show up there. Therefore, in addition to the Passwords app, you should also find the saved passwords in third-party web browsers and certain third-party apps to thoroughly delete them.

If you want to delete all saved passwords on your Mac, you should first find saved passwords on Mac, this is a complete guide provided by iBoysoft. Instead of the Keychain Access, you should use the new Passwords app on macOS Sequoia, and delete passwords there.

Note: If you have enabled iCloud Keychain on your Mac, all the edit changes will be synced with your other Apple devices with the same Apple account signed in, that is to say, the deleted passwords will also be removed from your iPhone, iPad, etc.

  1. Launch the Password app from the Launchpad.
  2. Sign in with Touch ID, or enter your user account password.
  3. Select an account.
  4. Control-click the unwanted password and choose Delete, or select the passwords you want to delete, click Edit > Delete Passwords, and tap Delete Passwords again to confirm. You can also select all passwords, and right-click to choose Delete.

Although everything is easy to use and comprehensive, it might not provide enough to fully replace your password manager because it lacks the built-in capability to save papers, identification documents, credit card information, and some other data that third-party password managers can preserve for you.

Moreover, the saved password is also located in third-party web browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox and third-party password managers if you have installed any on your Mac. Thus, you should continue to remove passwords from those places.
