Autofill in Microsoft Edge
ppnacho Hey, thanks for the response. I believe I understand what you want, and if so, then Edge already does this.
I don't use Chrome, so I am not familiar with how it handles password management, but in Edge Insider you must provide your Windows credentials to be able to view stored passwords. This is like using a "master password" in Firefox and LastPass.
This is already how it works, and I have no reason to think Microsoft will alter this in the future when password syncing becomes available.
Cheers.
First, thank your help. Thank you!!!
And the second, apologize for not understanding exactly what you wanted me to say (English problems) !!
After the last message, I have reviewed it and effectively ask for the windows password to reveal the passwords of your favorite sites.
I have always tried on my home pc computer and on this computer the windows password is blank and it is for this reason that I could never see the windows password request window.
Having said that, I would like to thank MaryB and garyvoth again and apologize for my mistake.
Anyway, I think we should give it one more round for cases in which the windows users have a blank password or use a shared session. I think we had to separate the passwords stored in the browser from the windows password.
However, I consider that it is currently an advance as it is now.
Thanks again to all!!

Lo primero, agradecer vuestra ayuda. Muchas gracias!!!
Y lo segundo, pediros disculpas por no comprender exactamente lo que me queriais decir (problemas de ingles)!!
Tras el ultimo mensaje, lo he revisado y efectivamente se pide la contraseña de windows para desvelar las contraseñas de tus sitios favoritos.
Siempre he probado en mi equipo pc de casa y en este equipo la contraseña de windows la tengo en blanco y es por este motivo por el que nunca podia ver la ventana de peticion de clave de windows.
Dicho esto, vuelvo a dar las gracias a MaryB y garyvoth y pedirles disculpas por mi error.
De todas formas, creo que habria que darle una vuelta mas para los casos en los que los usuarios de windows tienen contraseña en blanco o bien utilizan una sesion compartida. Pienso que habia que separar las contraseñas guardadas en el navegador de la contraseña de windows.
No obstante, considero que actualmente es un avance tal y como esta ahora.
Muchas gracias de nuevo a todos!!
- Ah, there is one extra step of protection as well. To sync passwords, you have to sign in to Edge with a Microsoft or Azure AD account and when you make one of those your Windows account, you're not able to have a blank Windows password. Really, biometrics and FIDO 2 tokens are a much more effective approach than making people remember one more password.
Glad we could help ;)
