Hello,

I have recently typed in my email address wrong when logging into a website, and now whenever I am prompted to fill in an email on any website, I get 2 options, one my legitimate email and the other option is my email with a typo in it. How do I remove the typo'd email from ever being suggested again?

You can use these steps to remove saved items from an autocomplete drop-down list.

  1. click the (empty) input field on the webpage to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press "Delete" or "Shift+Delete" to delete the highlighted entry

Note that hovering with the mouse doesn't work.

In Firefox, goto "about:logins" you'll find a Searchbox at the top of the page. Entering your misspelled email should show the corresponding entry consisting of the triple: wwwPage, UserName/E-Mail, and password. You may simply delete this entry using the DeleteButton. Since the correct email is stored here as well, in future, only the correct one will show. cheers, Jürgen.

Hello Jürgen,

I tried to step through your instructions, but when typing in the misspelled email "0 logins" were found under that specific email. I have also tried navigating to "about:preferences" searching "autofill" and did not see any options for email addresses to be saved there either.

Thank you for any help!

entering "about:logins" you'll find all your passwords including their related wwwPage and UserName/E-Mail. This is the place, where you can delete (or edit) the stored data(triple): wwwPage, UserName/E-Mail, and password. And that does include your mis-spelled one. Instead of the misspelled email, you may also search for the related password or wwwPage, and then find the triple with the misspelled email, and delete it. Or just scroll through all your stored logins ....

Remark: about:preferences and "autofill" only tells firefox wether to automatically fill in UserName/E-Mail and password - or not. But this setting already seems to work fine for you. No change needed.

Hello Jürgen,

I unfortunately do not know the related wwwPage or password affiliated with the typo'd email, but I have gone through each triple and could not locate the misspelled one. I have also exported the login information and verified that they specific typo'd triple is not in any of the entries using ctrl+f.

Thank you for all the suggestions!

If you don't find the misspelled triple neither in the export list nor in about:login, then I'd like to ask you to verify, that your problem still exists.

I have a friends email address now popping up in all the log in windows when you click into the email address window. I've tried using the down arrow to highlight that address and pressed delete but it does NOT delete and is still popping up in multiple websites when I want to log in. This is very frustrating and nothing seems to make it go away. Help!

Suggestions in a drop down list that have a key icon in front are login suggestions that you need to remove in the Lockwise Password Manager.

Sugestions without a key icon are part of autocomplete form data that you should be able to remove via the cursor down key and Delete (Mac: Shift+Delete).
