MicrosoftAutofill Blog #2: Password Security
The last blog post on Autofill in Microsoft Edge received several comments and inquiries from readers on Password Storage and Security. We understand this is a subject of great interest and concern t...
Thanks great article.
Please also add the option to "Suggest strong password" just like in Google chrome.
it's very great security feature and since our passwords will be automatically kept in Edge insider browser and synced to all of our devices, we won't need to bother remembering that long and strong password. 🙂
- I agree, I cannot wait for this feature to be trialled and rolled out.

the password generator in Edge? it's implemented in the latest Edge canary as a controlled feature rollout manner, so it's only available to a small portion of Canary users, the scope of the experiment will hopefully expand soon 🙂
- That is good news! will it be a flag?
- Suhrid_PalsuleHi sayjay09, glad you liked the post. Can you share which feature you're referring to in your last response? Thank you.
- Hi Suhrid_Palsule I am referring to the secure password generator that Chrome and Firefox currently have built in 🙂

HotCakeX There is mention of Strong Password Generator in the blogpost above. Re-posting that part below for easy reference:
"I want Microsoft Edge to create a password for me when I’m signing into a new accountThere is certainly value in being able to simply select a browser-generated password, as opposed to creating a new one each time from memory. We believe a good Password Generator should offer strong, high-entropy passwords that also appeal to users. This double-objective also serves as the bar for bringing this feature into Microsoft Edge. We have heard your request for this feature and are working on solutions for the same."
- Thanks 🙂
