Jul 07, 2020Hi martmcd,
Not just Microsoft ... this same question has been posed to several other Password Managers (both browser built-in and dedicated applications) for many years now. It is also the subject of much research and there are several publications on this subject.
The short answer is that a user is much better-off using a Password Manager than not using one. Not using a password manager leads to poor password habits that increases risk for the user. And Password Manager applications employ extensive security protections and precautions to prevent such an event from occuring.

de rien!- Rosette42Jul 07, 2020Copper ContributorBonsoir,
Pour ma part, j'attends du gestionnaire de mots de passe trois choses principales :
- l'efficacité d'utilisation (notamment concernant le remplissage de formulaires),
- la simplicité d'utilisation (afin que Microsoft Edge soit accessible au plus grand nombre),
- la sécurité (même si j'ai conscience que c'est un challenge difficile à relever).
L'avantage d'un gestionnaire de mots de passe intégré à Microsoft Edge (Chromium) c'est l'assurance d'un fonctionnement garanti.
