Windows 10: need help with auto-suggestions tab while typing

i use username and password which have some common characters in the beginning. I use the same username and password for all my apps and webpages.


i recently turned on Settings>Devices>Typing>Hardware Keyboard> show text suggestions as i type.


i then one day made a mistake while entering my password in the username section. i did not submit the password. i corrected it by entering my username and then below it i entered my password.


since then i am cursed.


i am very careful about my password strength and privacy.

my password is more than 20 charecters long with a combination of special symbols, random characters and numbers and names


everytime i enter my initial common characters of my username it shows me my password in recommendation in the auto suggestion tab.


i will give you an example


if my username if planeman

and if my password is planet12345


then one day i accidently put planet12345 in the username section and the autosuggestion feature saved it.

so whenever i am entering my username till character e in the word - 'plane' it suggests me to autocomplete it to planet12345 which is my password. as soon as i type 'm' or any other charecter after plane in the username, the suggestion is gone.


i cannot reset all my passwords,

i want to find a way to remove the words it learned and saved in such a way. beacuse it has learned my password. it is a handy feature to quickly put in your full email-id but is bad that it suggests password after it.


please respond fast.

need to fix asap.
