password-encrypted drives -- remove saved password?

I have two external Seagate drives attached to my Mini. They are both password-protected/encrypted. Somehow, one of them has had its password saved; when I attach it to the Mini or reboot, I am no longer prompted for a password. (I still am when the other drive is attached).

How do I get Mojave to "forget" the password?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Open Keychain Access and select your login keychain.

Find the password entry for the drive and delete the entry.
