Access to Saved Passwords
Is there a way that we can access our saved passwords if we aren't using the browser. For example, in Chrome you can go to passwords.google.com to access saved passwords and I would love something s...
I'm not sure how you visit passwords.google.com without using a browser ;)
Passwords stored by Edge Chromium are managed at edge://settings/passwords. My experiments seem to show, though, that changes here are not reflected in the Windows Credential Manager. I'll be submitting feedback about this.
Noel Burgess Sorry, to clarify I meant if we aren't using the edge browser. I can go to any computer or phone and access my google passwords, I was hoping for something similar for my Edge passwords.
CristinaC I thought it was pretty obvious from the start;), but just poking fun with that, no harsh-eties aimed at Noel Burgess . But in all seriousness, I relied (in Chrome) on the capability to go to my Google account website to retrieve previously-randomly-generated passwords from another device/browser all the time.
Most of the time, this need arises due to using Edge on my Android and EdgeDev on my computers (3 computers). Since Edge doesn't sync passwords, the transition from Chrome has been bumpy in this regard. A similar offering in Microsoft accounts / EdgeDev would be really nice to have, I assume it will come with the introduction of passwords being included in syncing.
However, just to be sure they have it on their radar I wanted to put this message here.
Google's password manager has been keeping me happy vs 3rd party offerings like 1Password, Dashlane, etc.. I'm crossing fingers the EdgeDev will copy this functionality like-for-like.
