MicrosoftUse Password Monitor to help protect your passwords online
I have just, unintentionally, tried Password Monitor. It seems like a good feature. When I used it for the first time it told me that 2 of my passwords were unsafe. This caught my attention! It turns out that the two passwords were for 192.168.1.x. These are not used on any of my network machines but were presumably, from my having been on some other private network at some time.
My suggestion is that 192.168.x.x and 10.0.x.x be excluded from the scanning.
It is a good feature apart from giving me high blood pressure!

Hi mgw000, glad you found the feature useful! Password Monitor scans and notifies the user of all compromised passwords, without exception. However, we hear you about excluding IP Addresses from the scan; many users unfortunately use weak passwords for networks, routers and such. To that end, there's an easy to use 'Ignore' button that moves such password entries into an ignore tray - from which point on, there will be no further action sought on them by the browser.
Let us know if this answers your question.When will the Password Monitor feature show up in the release version of Edge? I have a Chrome extension that this morning advised me that it will not work after today since it will be in Chrome. So when Will it be in Edge or do I have to go to the Dev release?

hi lwetzel, the launch date for Password Monitor in the Stable channel is not yet public, but that day is not far. Expect more details on this in Oct-Nov timeframe.
