I accidentally tried logging in on my banking website writing my password in the username field. I have click "don't save password". However it saved the username autofill.

I tried deleting it through "Manage Passwords" or "Autofill settings" but there is nothing there (which was expected). I also saw a solution here but is not working.

I use a macbook (yosemite) with no delete key and with Portuguese keyboard. How do I delete the username autofill now?

I quote an answer from How to remove one or all auto-complete text entries in Chrome?

Linux and Windows

Just highlight it in the dropdown list (using the arrow keys, or your mouse cursor) and press delete on your keyboard.

Note that you may have to press shift+delete in some cases, like if the autocomplete is in the address bar (URL) field.

Mac

  1. Start typing so that the unwanted autocomplete URL comes up.

  2. Hit fn+shift+delete if you have a compact keyboard or shift+delete ⌦ if you have a keyboard with separate delete ⌦ key (and no fn). If you have a non-Apple keyboard, shift+delete should do the trick.

In your case you do not have a delete button on your keyboard.

Macbook pros do not have a delete key. They have a backspace key, but in the US version only, the word "delete" is written on it. It still works as a backspace key, and you still have to use the fn key to get it to work as a delete key.

  • As I explained in my question, I don't have a delete key. – Miguel Feb 24 '17 at 14:12
  • @Miguel use onscreen keyboard? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt0QhT7oM3s It should give you the default US keyboard. Otherwise just change the keyboard in the settings. – RamonRobben Feb 24 '17 at 14:16
  • Ok, I just realised that my backspace is the delete key... There is this comment from the answer you linked. I have managed to deleted. Thanks! – Miguel Feb 24 '17 at 14:43
  • @Miguel thanks for noticing me. I have adjusted my answer accordingly. – RamonRobben Feb 24 '17 at 14:46
  • You should just VTC this question as a duplicate of the other one ... – DavidPostill Feb 24 '17 at 16:12
  • @DavidPostill I'm not sure on how to do that also I'm not sure If I can do that with my current reputation of 314 points. I did comment that it was a duplication. but after he told me its about the delete key I wasn't sure anymore. – RamonRobben Feb 24 '17 at 17:06
  • Never mind. I've done it. You can always flag as duplicate in future. – DavidPostill Feb 24 '17 at 17:07
