Introducing Edge Master Password | New feature
it's this feature: it's controlled feature rollout available in Edge canary, was added few versions ago. this helps your passwords stay safe, by requiring you to enter your Windows Pin/Password when you want to autofill your credentials on a web page. using the same strong authentication method Windows uses to secure your login screen, secure your disks pre-logon etc. next in line is this I'm already seeing some bits of it in Edge canary, but not fully implemented just yet.
Ter uma senha diferente para acessar as senhas
O edge poderia colocar um segunda senha para ver as senhas, não a do dispositivo; pois se por algum motivo a senha de desbloqueio do sistema for descoberta, todas as senhas salvas no edge ficam vulneráveis. Deveria ter uma senha para desbloquear um sofre próprio de senhas do egde. O Firefox já tem esse recurso.New improvement on Strong password suggestion feature in Edge
It's a controlled feature rollout, Edge has got a new option in right-click that will let you generate strong password when you right-click on a password field. Edge is already using Machine Learning to automatically suggest strong passwords on sign up pages but this option is there for pages that it doesn't happen on automatically, yet. There is also a form where you can submit web pages where Edge doesn't automatically suggest strong password on. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR123cdFSKdZItI7mcVwhTx1UM1FNWDRQVk9CTUFMU09DUkVaTjdETzIzNS4uHow to view and manage your Microsoft passwords on Linux/Chrome/ChromeOS (Without Edge or mobile)

Questions & answers about Microsoft Authenticator app - Azure AD | Microsoft Docs Q: How are my passwords protected by the Authenticator app? A: Authenticator app already provides a high level of security for multi-factor authentication and account management, and the same high security bar is also extended to managing your passwords. Strong authentication is needed by Authenticator app: Signing into Authenticator requires a second factor. This means that your passwords inside Authenticator app can't be accessed even if someone has your Microsoft account password. Autofill data is protected with biometrics and passcode: Before you can autofill password on an app or site, Authenticator requires biometric or device passcode. This ensures that even if someone else has access to your device, they cannot fill or see your password, as they’d be unable to provide the biometric or device PIN. Furthermore, a user cannot open the Passwords page unless they provide biometric or PIN, even if they turn off App Lock in app settings. Encrypted Passwords on the device: Passwords on device are encrypted, and encryption/decryption keys are never stored and always generated on-the-fly. Passwords are only decrypted when user wants to, that is, during autofill or when user wants to see the password, both of which require biometric or PIN. Cloud and network security: Your passwords on the cloud are encrypted and decrypted only when they reach your device. Passwords are synced over an SSL-protected HTTPS connection, which ensures no attacker can eavesdrop on sensitive data when it is being synced. We also ensure we check the sanity of data being synced over network using cryptographic hashed functions (specifically, hash-based message authentication code).Saved Passwords in Edge are now available to All apps on Mobile - System Wide Password Manager
I've been using Microsoft Authenticator Beta app for a while on my Android phone, today I received an update and now the app works as a system-wide password manager (Password filler), for all websites and apps. This should work on IOS too.

I want to suggest to sync passwords saved in Edge with Windows credential manager in order for them to be accessible to all other apps and programs in Windows and also operate as a system wide password manager. Windows credential manager stores passwords from Internet explorer and legacy Edge but not the new Edge browser, the link is broken and the two components don't talk to each other anymore. the problem at the moment is that some passwords are stored in my Edge browser password manager, some others are stored in Windows credential manager by other apps, If i want to change password of a website, I have to manually update it in both places. also the apps i use on Windows 10 only talk to Windows credential manager and they don't use Edge password manager, so this creates the need to save password in 2 places and duplicate them. Such a great secure encrypted native feature in Windows that is rarely paid attention to. this is the system-wide password manager of Windows, just like the one in Android and Mac.Password Generator Feedback - How Are You Finding It?
Hi all, I am very happy that this has been added but out of the many account sign-ups I have made in the last few weeks, the generator has shown up just once. I believe that a different approach may have to be taken and that is a "Generate Strong Password" option in the right click menu that shows on a webpage that has other form data such as a name or address. That way, the user can generate a password as and when it is needed, regardless of whether it has been vetted by the dev team or has the appropriate tag in the code. Either that, or a generator option in the Password Manager in settings. At the moment, I am still visiting an external site to generate them for me. What do you all think? FYI, I am writing this on my experience with Canary builds.SS18: better site specific settings - password, suggestions
Suggestion (SS): 18 Classification: SITE SPECIFIC SETTING PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 7-9 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) Problem Even if we click mai (never) you continue to show this again and again and again Solution If i click mai, you should "ban" such website. if i want to save things again, i need to unban it in the setting. Same for suggestion of previous password, suggestion of email, address, name, location, etc. I should be able to ban such features inside a specific website. Another point: please never implement the password suggestions when we create new accounts (like safari 12), which slow down workflow at all if we need to batch create a lot of accounts every day. Same for "do you want to save the mastercard (mc)?". i never bought with mc on edge, but if you ask such message again and again like safari, add an option to disable save mastercard. Such things, and bank/money related website, should never save any type of infos. About PayPal, i don't know if Edge can help with that, but i noticed that they still activate OneTouch login or keep the login active after a purchase. Please add a way to logout automatically from paypal once purchase is done. I hate that paypal keeps my login active. i already reported such problem to paypal, and they didn't fix it at all. About the topic addresses, remember this https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/add-ability-to-pin-saved-addresses/m-p/1816366/highlight/false#M37253, so just add 1 address and remove all other auto generated, and avoid to add auto generated.
