[Solved]clear passwords doesn't clear passwords

I have 200+ saved passwords. When I go to 'clear browsing data' and deselect all of the preselected items and check 'passwords and other sign-in data' and then 'clear data' nothing happens. 100% of the passwords remain. It is far from obvious what else to try or what could be peculiar to my situation, but searching for this topic found nothing, so I decided to post to the forum. Anyone with ideas?

@rmunson1 Did you also change the time period to contemplate what you want?

Sorry, but I do not understand your reply. Change what time period? I didn't exactly 'contemplate what I want' - I want to remove/delete/make all passwords go away. That is my contemplation.

@rmunson1 In the Clear Browsing Data dialog there is Time Interval (or something like that) and if you want to clear all data, you need to set it to Forever.

Thx. Problem solved. I didn't know what that field was, but changing it got the job done. No further problems.
