Your idea seems impossible to execute in real time - without saving in Edge.
"When you turn on Password Monitor, Microsoft Edge checks passwords stored in your browser under a large database of known password leaks stored in the cloud. If any of the pairs username and password match the pairs"

Hi Deleted
Why I do respect your opinion , just share a tip from my experience in IT and Software Engineer and it is there is no impossible in our field. It might be technically difficult but not impossible.
Technically, it is possible to do it with caching like when you enter a password place it in a temporary cache as hash and then it send over the network and then remove it from this cache. However, it required some research on privacy , security and technical perspective.

I understand, but the creation of more processes - this is another threat,
Edge currently I think is well secured, but you should not overcomplicate the user experience - this is the reason for often giving up using this browser.
Best regards
- Reza_AmeriJan 13, 2022Silver ContributorIt is something to do with the engineers and if they engineer it well, they could make the process secure. However, the question is how it will impact the users?
In case it has a positive impact on several users they might consider it.
It depends on the complexity too.- DeletedJan 16, 2022
" It depends on the complexity too. "
I still think that if someone really needs to check the security of their Password, they will save them in Edge!
If he doesn't want to – there's no need to build a very complex and dangerous process in real time!
- DeletedJan 12, 2022Actually Andrzej, Microsoft developers are very smart when adding new features such as the requested Bing wallpaper for desktop, better touch keyboard, and so much more in new Edge browser.
They have created an amazingly fast browser that is so easy to use, that's wonderfully designed, simple just like the Maps app. Vivaldi, Opera, Firefox, are other browsers that focus on privacy too though they have it so cluttered.
Very slow browser indeed isn't Edge browser, the social media isn't necessarily on Opera or all these other stuff.
I find the collections, citation, rewards, math solver, sidebar, coupons very helpful, a lot of people just need time to understand why this stuff are in a browser.
A lot of shopping addicts will usually want to get the lowest offer on shopping, this may be good for Microsoft but it's great for a user too as it will help make Bing a better search engine.
I believe that other browser will follow-suite, anyways the new spotlight collection and new touch keyboard in Windows 11 was more than I ever wanted and now I love it!
Patience, skill and timing will always lead to wonderful works of art!

Yes, but Edge's market share is not growing dynamically - despite improvements!
I like in Edge that I can turn off almost everything - because I don't need it, of course security is a priority!
