But in some cases you may want to disable the it. For instance, if you forgot it or just want stop using because you configured 2FA for your Google Account. So here is how to remove the passphrase on Windows 10 PC, Android device or iPhone/iPad.
Quick Method
- Open the following web page https://chrome.google.com/sync in the browser and log into your Google account.
- Scroll to the bottom.
- Click/tap on RESET SYNC.
- Confirm by clicking/tapping OK:

- Launch Google Chrome:
After that, you will likely want to sign in again, enter 2-step verification security code and you will be able to encrypt your Chrome data using a new passphrase.
That’s it.
