I accidentally typed a wrong email address one time, and now it shows up every time I go to sign in. I don't want it showing ever, but don't want to necessarily disable (erase) this ability on all other sites.

Hello,

If you put your text cursor on the input field, and press the down key on your keyboard until that entry is selected on the dropdown suggestions list, you can press "delete" to remove it from the list.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:

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

You can inspect and manage saved user name and passwords in the Password Manager.
