How to change a saved password in Google Chrome

For those of you that don't know, there's a much easier way to change a saved password in Google Chrome.

Now most of you would go through the whole delete-the-prev-pass- process by going to the wrench menu, etc. But do you know that you don't necessarily have to delete your old password?

Suppose you have your facebook password saved as coolguy123 but you recently changed it to noobguy123. After you change your facebook pass, log out and go to facebook.com again. Your username:oldpassword will be displayed in (yellow) highlights in their respective boxes. 

All you have to do is clear the password box and type your new password, and login. 

Now the next time you go to facebook.com again, you'll see that Google Chrome has saved your new password and replaced the old one. This is a pretty neat trick that I'm surprised none of the G.Gr. guys mentioned. 

But there is also a flaw over here. Suppose one day you accidently type an s in the password box and pres login, then Chrome would think that your new password is noobguy123s and replace it. In case this happens, just repeat the above steps and you'll be able to fix it in no time.
