Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list Then highlight an entry in the drop-down list using the cursor Down key (arrow key) (Don't click the mouse and don't press Enter) Press Shift+Delete to delete the highlighted entry (for Windows it's only Delete, but you're on Mac) Repeat till only the correct username is left.

(Hovering with the mouse no longer works)
