Google Smart Lock is a login feature for Google platforms – turn it on and it will allow the software to recognize your Google devices (such as Android phones or Chromebooks) and automatically unlock them in certain situations. For example, you can set your Samsung Galaxy phone to always unlock when geolocation shows you’re home, or to automatically unlock your Chromebook when you approach it with your phone. You can also save Chrome passwords and other tricks.
But with all that Smart Lock can do, sometimes you want to disable features to keep your websites or devices from being too accessible. That’s where disabling account features comes in – we’ll cover how to do it on your Android phone and how to manage account passwords in Chrome, so skip ahead to the section below that interests you the most.

Remove Smart Lock in Chrome
Google Smart Lock also covers password management in Chrome, a whole different field, but one where you can still run into trouble. Here, Google Smart Lock acts as a password manager, collecting and storing passwords for the sites you visit.
The problem is that those smart sign-in features don’t always work, especially if you’ve recently updated your password and Chrome is having trouble understanding what’s changed. Or maybe you just want to delete saved logins to improve your security. This is how you can delete your account information at any time.
Step 1: Go to your Google account password page and sign in if necessary. This page is how Google currently manages all of your Chrome passwords. Here you’ll see all the sites and apps Chrome has saved login information for, and notifications about which sites may be using compromised passwords.
Step 2 – Find the site you want to disable the password on in the Google list. Select it and sign in again with your Google account information if necessary.
Step 3: You will now see your login details on that page. Choose Delete option and confirm that you want to delete it. That particular account will now be removed from your passwords page.
Step 4 – If you want to prevent Google from saving future passwords, it would be a good idea to select the gear icon on the passwords home page and enable Offer to save passwords, so you always have the option to save your account information. You can also disable automatic registration.
