Changing the user/owner of a MacBook Air

My wife gave me her MacBook Air (13 inch, Retina display, 2018 - macOS Monterey 12.4) a few years ago.


I know her password, however, before I can use auto-filled passwords for websites, etc. I have to input my user password.


I tried eliminating her user account.


What do I do?
