Password Generation and Password Reveal are Not working
- Sep 30, 2019
My feedback (sent using smiley button), which was basically the same text in my post, got a reply from Microsoft today:
1. Password Generator: We currently have not enabled this feature in Microsoft Edge. This Feature Flag is only used to collect information about web forms for improving Autofill experience. Enabling the same will not turn on Password Generator. We are currently working on a few solutions - although it's not possible to give an estimate of when this feature will be made available behind a flag.
2. Password Reveal: Passwords are blinded (not presented in plain text) to prevent what are known as 'shoulder surfing' attacks. The only way you can currently view them is in Settings, after due authentication (entering your OS credentials that verify it's the actual owner interested in viewing them). Sometimes, certain websites offer a 'Reveal' functionality.
Dennis5mile found the same option here as well...
Is it suggesting passwords for you?
