Today we will consider one situation that users face very often. Let's say you have one computer that is used by several family members at once. If you save the username and password from your page in the browser, then even in your absence, any person who has access to the computer can safely log into your account. To avoid this, you need to delete some of the data from the browser. Which ones?

It looks like this:

To remove your username and password, you need to clear the data in the browser. If you are using Google chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera or any other browser that works on the basis of Chromium, you just need to press the key combination CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE. A window will open. In it, you must select the items to be deleted. In our case, these are "Passwords", "Cookies, as well as other data of sites and plugins." In the upper part, select the period for which you want to delete the data (it is better to choose "For all time").

Then press "Clear history" and wait for the data to be deleted. After that, go to the site vk.com and look at the result - information about your personal account will be deleted.

Please note that these actions will remove passwords for all sites that you used. In addition, deauthorization will occur on all sites, so if you forgot the password for any resource, you will have to recover it. So before the process, we strongly recommend that you remember the data on important resources.

In case you are using Mozilla Firefox, you will have to act in a different way. We go to the settings ("Tools" - "Settings"). Here we find the "Protection" section and click on the "Saved Logins" button. Here you will see a list of logins, along with passwords. Just delete the login for VKontakte, along with it, the password is deleted.

These are the most convenient ways to delete data from your browser. At the same time, we strongly recommend that you do not save your username and password from your account in the browser never in the future, as this can lead to sad consequences (if someone, without your knowledge, wants to look at your page).

In any of the browsers there is a function that allows you to save the credentials used to log in to the site. This is used in order not to enter them constantly.

But this function can go sideways. Imagine a situation when other people have access to your computer - friends, relatives, etc. They can go to the Vkontakte website, and open your page using the saved credentials - login and password (see). Which is highly undesirable.
