I apologize for writing a long post on this topic yesterday; this article is well hidden and I hadn't seen it before¹.

The article answers many of my questions, but not this one: what is the objection to updating the Windows Credential Manager each time Edge saves a password in one of its profiles? Windows Credentials are protected by yet another layer of security on top of the multiple layers you mention: passwords can only be revealed by entering the user's Windows username and password.

It is tiresome to have to maintain multiple lists of saved passwords when we used only to have one to deal with.

1. I customarily open the Discussions bit of this community to see what's new. I hadn't realized that there was a second, busy section called Articles, many of which also have a long tail of comments, questions and answers. Could I suggest that an article author post briefly in Discussions to alert users to a new article's existence? And perhaps suggest that users discuss its subject matter in Discussions?

I feel again that my English is not good!

I fully understand the security offered by the windows login account. I have no doubt about it.

But in my work, I initiate session when I arrive and block the session when it is coffee time. After the coffee I return to start session and at the end of my day, I turn off. I usually get up frequently and I'm not always in front of my pc. The option to block my session every time I get up and unlock it when I feel it is not very practical in my work. So, if I get up from my position to go talk to my boss, I'm leaving my session open and anyone with bad intentions has a free way to see all the passwords of my favorite sites. Honestly, I do not like it.

You know, for tastes there are colors.

I return to comment that it is only a suggestion and that it is not my intention to create any debate about it.

There are tools like lastpast that perform the function perfectly. I believe that the new edge should bring it integrated. But it's just my personal opinion.

And thanks to Microsoft for allowing me to participate in this forum and be able to give my point of view. I know that Edge Chromium is very young and you have to give it time to grow older.

Thank you to all for reading me.

Siento de nuevo que mi ingles no sea bueno!!

Entiendo perfectamente la seguridad que ofrece la cuenta de inicio de sesion de windows. No tengo ninguna duda sobre ello.

Pero en mi trabajo, inicio sesion cuando llego y bloqueo la sesion cuando es la hora del cafe. Despues del cafe vuelvo a iniciar sesion y al finalizar mi jornada, apago. Me suelo levantar con frecuencia y no siempre estoy delante de mi pc. La opcion de bloquear mi sesion cada vez que me levanto y desbloquearla cuando me siento es poco practico en mi trabajo. Por eso, si me levanto de mi puesto para ir a hablar con mi jefe, estoy dejando mi sesion abierta y cualquier persona con malas intenciones tiene via libre para ver todas las contraseñas de mis sitios favoritos. Sinceramente, no me gusta.

Ya se sabe, para gustos hay colores.

Vuelvo a comentar que solo es una sugerencia y que no es mi intencion crear ningun debate sobre ello.

Existen herramientas como lastpast que realizan la funcion perfectamente. Considero que el nuevo edge deberia traerla integrada. Pero solo es mi opinion personal.

Y gracias a Microsoft por permitirme participar en este foro y poder dar mi punto de vista. Se que Edge Chromium es muy joven y hay que ir dandole tiempo para que se haga mayor.

Gracias a todos por leerme.
