How to clear basic authentication details in chrome

问题

I\'m working on a site that uses basic authentication. Using Chrome I\'ve logged in using the basic auth. I now want to remove the basic authentication details from the browser and try a different login.

How do you clear the current basic authentication details when using Chrome?

回答1:

It seems chrome will always show you the login prompt if you include a username in the url e.g.

http://me@example.com

This is not a real full solution, see Mike's comment below.

回答2:

You can open an incognito window Ctrl+Shift+n each time you are doing a test. The incognito window will not remember the username and password the last time you entered.

To use this trick, make sure to close all incognito windows. All incognito windows share the same cache. In other words, you cannot open multiple independent incognito windows. If you login in one of them and open another one, those two are related and you will see that the new window remembers the authentication information from the first window.

回答3:

all you need to do is to type chrome://restart in the address bar and chrome, with all its apps that are running in background, will restart and the Auth password cache will be cleaned.

回答4:

The authentication is cleared when you exit Chrome.

Note however, that by default Chrome is running apps in the background, so it may not really exit even if you close all Chrome windows. You can either change this behavior under advanced setting, or e.g. under Windows, you can completely exit Chrome by using the Chrome icon in the systray. There should be an icon if Chrome is still running, but maybe you'll find it only in the popup with the hidden icons. The context menu of the Chrome icon has an entry to completely exit Chrome, and you can also change the setting for running apps in the background using that menu.

Open the Chrome menu
Select Settings
Scroll to the bottom
Click Show advanced settings...
Scroll to the bottom
Under System uncheck the box labeled:
Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed

function logout(url){
    var str = url.replace("http://", "http://" + new Date().getTime() + "@");
    var xmlhttp;
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    else xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) location.reload();
    }
    xmlhttp.open("GET",str,true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic YXNkc2E6")
    xmlhttp.send();
    return false;
}

There is no way to do this in Chrome as yet (Chrome 58)

I have found the best solution is to open the url in an Incognito window, which will force you to re-enter the basic authentication credentials.

When you want to change the credentials, close the Incognito window and launch another Incognito window.

This isn't exactly what the question is asking for but in case you accidentally saved basic auth credentials and want to clear them or update them:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6197437

Open Chrome.
At the top right, click More > and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under "Passwords and forms," click Manage passwords.
Under "Saved Passwords", click Remove on the site you want to clear saved basic auth credentials.

Steps 1-4 can be quickly navigated with this link: chrome://settings/passwords

This worked in Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115

回答8:

Press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Delete
You will see popup in chrome
Check the above options and click clear data and you are done.

May be old thread but thought of adding answer to help others.

I had the same issue with Advanced ReST Client App, I'm not able to clear basic authentication from Chrome neither from app. It simply stopped asking for credentials!

However, I managed to make it work by relaunching Chrome using About Google Chrome -> Relaunch.

Once Chrome is relaunched, when I accessed ReST service, it will ask for user name and password using basic authentication popup.

Hope this helps!

In Chrome, on the right-hand side of the URL bar when you are at a password protected URL, you should see a small key symbol. Click the symbol and it will take you directly to the Password Management area where you can remove the entry. That will ensure you receive future prompts or have an opportunity to enter a new password and save it.

If you do not see the key symbol, that same Password Management area can be accessed by going to Chrome -> Settings -> Passwords and forms -> Manage Passwords. Or more simply, this URL – chrome://settings/passwords.

回答11:

I'm using Chrome 75. What I've found is that restarting Chrome doesn't work. But restarting Chrome AND opening the developer tools does work. I don't have any explanation why this should be.

回答12:

For Chrome 66 I found the relevant option under:

Top right ... menu -> More Tools -> Clear Browsing Data
Click the "Advanced" tab
Check the "Passwords" box (and uncheck others you don't want cleared)
Click "Clear Data"

Using a new Incognito window is probably easier, but for those times you forget and want to clear the saved password, this does the trick without having to restart Chrome (which also works)

回答13:

Just do

https://newUsername:newPassword@example.com

...to override your old credentials.

回答14:

Chrome uses the same Internet Options as IE.

Try opening your Internet Options and removing the URL from "Trusted Sites." This should regenerate a 401 call for credentials when you restart the browser and visit the URL again.

You may need to remove it from "Intranet Sites" as well.

回答15:

A lot of great suggestions here, I'll give the one that I found the most efficient:

Just change your password in the site. The old authentication will became outdated and Chrome will request it again.

Since I had a terminal open, I did a simple script to change the password and in two keypresses it were incremented.

回答16:

Things changed a lot since the answer was posted. Now you will see a small key symbol on the right hand side of the URL bar.
Click the symbol and it will take you directly to the saved password dialog where you can remove the password.

Successfully tested in Chrome 49

回答17:

You can also do it via the settings page, chrome://chrome/settings

Under The Hood
Advanced Settings
Passwords and Forms

Then click the link Manage saved passwords.

回答18:

You should be able to clear your credentials from your browser via "Clear Browsing Data..." in chrome://settings/advanced
