Ability to Manager or Delete single autocomplete form data in Edge browser (new for 2025)

Someone has asked exactly this question before, in 2023, asking if the feature could be added, when maybe the feature already existed and the OP didn't know.  Three months after the post, the OP wrote that they'd found the method and marked it as solved.  It involved a few simple key strokes.  See here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/edgeinsiderdiscussions/ability-to-manager-or-delete-single-autocomplete-form-data-in-edge-browser-/3984284

This old post has attracted a few extra comments in the time since it was marked as solved, as the method described has been removed in more recent builds of Edge.

I find the removal of this method frustrating, and I believe it invites security issues.  For example, more than once, I've accidentally put a password in a username box.  Now when I visit the site and try to log in, it shows my password in plain text on screen.  Users have to search through autocomplete data to correct it, instead of being able to resolve the issue with one click (as I believe it is in Chrome) or the old Edge method of arrowing down to the suggestion and pressing delete while holding shift.

Please could this feature be brought back in a future Edge build?  Because I think it is a valuable component of old Edge, and I miss its ease of use very much, the sooner the better please.
