Microsoft Edge app has the feature to save & autofill the usernames and passwords for online accounts hence reducing the effort to manually fill out sign-in information. You can manually add the password info for a website, or let the browser save for you.
These saved credentials are protected with your TouchID or Passcode and also synced with your Microsoft account. These records can be modified and removed if no longer required.
In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:

The Edge app offers the prompt to save the password information when it identifies a new record that does not exist in the Passwords record. However, to make it happen, we need to enable the “Offer to save password” option. Follow these steps:
