Saved Passwords in Google 


Saved passwords in the browser can cause issues if the incorrect password has been saved, for example if it the original one-time password. Admin and teacher passwords can be edited to save the correct password. As a pupil password consists of 5 separate digits, they should not be saved. The browser can only save the first digit so any saved pupil passwords will need to be deleted.


You can bypass the saved passwords:


  1. On a temporary basis by using an incognito tab. This does not reference any settings or browser history.
  2. On a permanent basis by deleting/editing the password in Google passwords. Next time you log in, choose ‘never save password for this site’ if the machine is likely to be accessed by more than user.
