Password Generation and Password Reveal are Not working
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.
Hi HotCakeX, I don't believe that this is one of our flags, so I am not surprised that it isn't making any noticeable changes in the current Microsoft Edge Canary builds. Thanks - Elliot
oh so it's another one of those flags slipped out. in that case please take Password Generation and Password Reveal features into consideration. thank you!
