    If you go to the top right of the login page that has your password stored, in the URL, there should be a padlock. Click on this. The rest should be self-explanatory.

    I need to delete multiple passwords (3 or 4) with one company. I have a new approved password with that company. I cannot delete them online with the company, probably because of cookies.

    Then delete the cookies saved on your browser, and your saved passwords can become unsaved.
