Those of you who are tired of manually typing in passwords or giving Edge permission over and over again to save them on your behalf can rest easy, as a helpful new feature may be on its way to standard Edge soon enough. It’s a “save passwords automatically” feature that’s recently snuck into Edge Canary.
Not everyone can see the option at present, so you may not have access to the feature even if you’re on Canary. But if you are one of the folks who Microsoft has chosen, you can find the fresh tool within the passwords subsection of Edge’s settings. From there, you should see a toggle-able checkbox to enable automatic password saving.
The feature was spotted by Leopeva64-2 over on Reddit.
Edge is always testing new features, so there’s no guarantee you’ll see this password-saving tool in the standard release anytime soon. And Microsoft doesn’t only try out these sorts of things for Edge, it does it with all its products, including Windows 11 and its search engine Bing. If you come across a feature you really like or dislike, here’s how to submit feedback in Microsoft Bing. Windows and Edge also have feedback options where you can sound off your thoughts on Microsoft’s experiments.
You don’t have to limit your feedback to new things, either. If you’re not a fan of existing staples of any of the company’s products, you can still share thoughts in the hopes that Microsoft will revise something tried and true to be better down the line.
