Add, Edit, and Manage Saved Passwords in Edge on the Computer

The Microsoft Edge browser allows users to save and manage their passwords for various websites easily.

You can save your passwords and have them automatically filled in for future use or view and edit them in the browser’s settings. You need to authenticate with a sign-in password to view the saved passwords.

7. Navigate to the login page and enter credentials and continue to sign in.
   You will notice a Key icon within the URL bar that offers whether to Save a password.
8. Hit on the Save command button.
   

It will automatically save the login username and corresponding account password into the Edge database. If your account is signed in with Microsoft, this password is synced across the devices.

If you wish to view the passwords saved in the browser, you can check on the same password manager page. Here are the steps to view a saved password:

1. Launch the Microsoft Edge on your computer.

You will now be able to view the password and username. These changes will also be synced across the Microsoft signed-in devices.

Delete Saved Password

If a password is no longer in use, you have the option to delete them as well. In this way, you can avoid any confusion or duplication. Here are the steps to delete a saved password:
