Does Clearing Cache Clear Passwords?

When it comes to cyber security, one common question that arises is whether clearing your cache can clear saved passwords. The answer to this question is both yes and no, depending on the context.

Clearing your browser's cache typically removes temporary internet files, cookies, and other browsing data stored on your device. While clearing your cache may remove some saved passwords from autofill options or stored cookies, it does not directly delete passwords saved in your password manager or accounts.

However, if you have saved passwords in your browser without using a dedicated password manager, clearing your cache might result in losing access to those passwords. It is always recommended to use a secure password manager to store and manage your passwords securely.

Therefore, while clearing your cache can have an impact on saved passwords in certain situations, it is not a foolproof method for clearing all passwords. For better password security, rely on a trusted password manager and avoid solely depending on your browser's saved passwords.
