Hi DPierangeli, right now we will have the same behavior as we share the same Chromium code base.  I will raise this issue with our platform team to see if they will consider adding it to the list of Chromium issues that we are fixing.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    So it seems the Chrome is now respecting autocomplete=new-password but Edge is still not. If you want to follow Chrome's lead (for whatever reason) then follow their lead. This is a super important issue for developers. Please don't think this is minor and put it in a file somewhere and then go work on something else. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE and not being able to turn off autocomplete has serious negative consequences for the end user experience.
