Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I also use the chrome browser..when using that browser it is in fact possible to edit/change your 'saved' password's.

Have a GREAT day !

For your information, passwords.google.com is Not part of the browser.
it's a website Google set up for themselves.

as i said, Google Chrome has No option to edit passwords, neither does Edge insider browser.

this forum revolves around Edge insider only and the workaround i proposed is the only proper way to edit passwords in Edge insider browser.

    Hi,

    I wanted to make sure that in fact the option to change/edit my saved google chrome password's was still available before I responded back to you...also I surely don't want you to think I'm trying to be any kind of a rude individual. Once you are signed into your google account..and click on the 'link' that was shown in the body of the page I provided a 'link' to : You can manage your saved passwords any time at https://passwords.google.com/ , once you view/select the password item that you are wanting to change it will let you change it there. By the way..since we are both windows insider's, which branch/build are you currently running ?

    Thanks,

    David

      I understand,
      i also just to be sure, fired up a Windows sandbox and installed Chrome canary but still there was no option to edit passwords.
      Yeah passwords.google.com is just a Google service, not part of the browser itself, that's why i said you can't edit your password in Google chrome. such an option has never been there in the first place.
      i do hope that Microsoft adds a similar website/service so users can go there and modify their saved passwords online.
      I'm using Insider fast ring 18975

        HotCakeX ,

        Hi,

        First of all..I surely wanted to take the time to thank you for your valued responses to me, I'm sure you are aware that in our world today we encounter some people that are rude and don't care anything about other's..YOU are surely NOT one of those !! To be honest, I was in the middle of a chat with a microsoft customer service rep. who was informing me of a method to perform what we are discussing..I accidentally closed the chat session 😞
