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

Edge stores your sign-in details in Microsoft Password Manager, but that page has moved on recent versions. If an older tutorial sends you to Profiles, you'll only find a dead end.

Use the current Passwords and autofill path to list what Edge saved, reveal an entry, fix an old username, or clear credentials you no longer trust. Two switches matter: ask to save, and password sync.

In this guide, I have covered:

Where to Find Saved Passwords in Edge on Your Computer

An older tutorial probably sends you to Profiles for stored logins. That path is gone on current builds, so here are the clicks that actually lead to the list.

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Select the menu in the top-right corner.
3. Choose Settings.
4. Select Passwords and autofill in the left sidebar.
5. Select Passwords in the Microsoft Password Manager section.

What changed in Edge 137: Microsoft moved password settings out of Profiles when it retired Edge Wallet. If a screenshot still shows the Profiles route, it no longer matches current Edge.

You’ll know it worked when the list of sites and accounts opens, each row showing a username and a masked password.

Turn On Edge’s Ask to Save Passwords

Edge can’t offer to remember a login if the save prompt is switched off. Check that switch first, before you assume the password was lost.

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Select the menu.
3. Choose Settings.
4. Select Passwords and autofill.
5. Turn on Ask to save passwords. On older Edge builds, the same switch is labeled Offer to save passwords.

You’ll know it worked when the key icon appears in the address bar the next time you sign in somewhere new.

Save a Password While Signing In

First visit to a site, form on screen, password typed. That is the easiest moment to let Edge store the credential for you.

1. Open the website’s sign-in page.
2. Enter your username.
3. Enter your password.
4. Submit the sign-in form.
5. Select the key icon that appears in the address bar.
6. Choose Save in the Edge prompt or password details panel.

The credential is stored. On a later visit, Edge fills both fields once password autofill is enabled.

Add a Password Manually

A site that blocks the prompt leaves you with nothing saved. Add the entry yourself from the password manager instead.

1. Open the saved password list in Edge.
2. Select Add password.
3. Enter the website address.
4. Enter the username.
5. Enter the new password, then confirm it if the form asks for confirmation.
6. Select Save.

The new row appears in the list right away and is ready for autofill on that site.

View a Saved Password

You know Edge has the login, but you can’t recall the password itself. Reveal it from the saved entry, as long as you can confirm it’s you.

1. Open the saved password list in Edge.
2. Find the site and select its saved entry.
3. Select the reveal icon beside the password.
4. Complete the computer authentication prompt if Edge asks for it.

You’ll know it worked when the dots turn into readable text. Select the reveal icon again to hide it.

Edit a Saved Password

You changed the password on the site, or the username is stale. Update the existing row rather than creating a second entry for the same account.

1. Open the saved password list in Edge.
2. Select the saved entry.
3. Select Edit.
4. Update the username, the password, or both.
5. Select Save.

Edge overwrites the stored details with your new values. With password sync on, the update reaches your other signed-in devices too.

Delete a Saved Password

Retired logins and accounts you no longer trust should not sit in the list feeding autofill suggestions. Remove them when you’re done with them.

1. Open the saved password list in Edge.
2. Select the entry you want to remove.
3. Open the entry’s menu and choose Delete, or use Delete on the details page.
4. Select Delete to confirm.

The row disappears from the list. With sync on, the deletion is applied to your other signed-in devices.

TIP: Deleting an entry only clears what Edge stored. The account itself is unchanged, so change the password on the website first if you’re rotating it for security.

Manage Password Autofill and Sync

Two settings decide what happens after a password is stored, and they get confused constantly. Autofill governs whether Edge fills a login form. Sync governs whether that login exists on your other devices.

Check Automatic Password Fill

1. Open the Passwords and autofill page.
2. Locate the password autofill control in the Microsoft Password Manager section.
3. Turn automatic password fill on or off.
4. Reload an open site to test the change.

You’ll know it worked when the test site fills the saved credential without you typing anything.

Check Password Sync

Saved passwords reach your other devices only when the Edge profile is signed in to a Microsoft account and the Passwords sync category is on. Being signed in alone does not copy them across.

If you also use Edge on a phone, Add, Edit, and Manage Saved Passwords in Edge on Android walks through the same steps on that device.
