Save or forget passwords in Microsoft Edge (original) (raw)

Note: The Automatically save passwords setting has been retired with Microsoft Edge version 124 and later. Instead, Edge will offer to save your passwords each time you enter new credentials in the Edge browser. All your previously autosaved passwords will continue to be available for a seamless login.

Microsoft Edge makes it easy to save your passwords as you browse the web. When you enter a new password in the Edge browser on your desktop or mobile device, Microsoft Edge will ask if you want your username and password remembered. The next time you visit the site, the browser will finish filling in your account info. If you’re signed into Edge with your Microsoft account, these passwords become available across all of your signed in devices.
