New security feature: Passwords Length are now Hidden in Edge Password Manager
- Spoiler

Moreover, the reason why I said it could be a bug is: perhaps Edge devs wanted to do the same approach as Chrome Canary, because showing a column "Password" and having nothing in there doesn't look good if UX has to be concerned.
Jesus..who is attacking you?!
you said you have OCD problem which is a health related issue and I only said: "if you have a problem with OCD you can seek medical care for medications and therapies."
that's NOT an attack. but if you still think it is an attack then report it to moderator.
I'm not sure what's wrong with some people in here recently, they just wanna fight and guard against others while the rest are just trying to be helpful. it's making me tired and reluctant to even post and do anything in this community anymore.
Why it was dangerous to have masked passwords with visible length?
If an attacker has unrestricted physical access to your computer, they can just convert the password fields to text fields or use DevTools to read them as plaintext.
Chrome's security model didn't include this so I'm happy Microsoft implemented this feature. Thank you
