Question

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 brow

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I am using Chrome Version 83 and this is how I did it. Before following the steps make sure the tab of the site, whose Auth Details you want to delete is closed.

First, go to Settings >> Privacy and security.

Then click on Site settings option

Then click on View permissions and data stored across sites option

Search for the site whose Auth info you want to delete. In this example, I am using Stack Overflow.

Now click on the site and then click the Clear data button.

Now restart your browser and you will be asked for a fresh login. For restarting you can type chrome://restart in the address bar.
