Password protection for Profiles

Deleted Thanks for the suggestion! Here are some questions for you:
- Can you tell us more about the use case for this? The feature was designed for all the profiles to be used by one person, ex. a personal account and a work account.
- One of the perks of multiple profiles, especially profile switching, is the convenience. How would you feel about having a less convenient experience (due to entering a password each time?)
- Would you ideally want those passwords to be remembered by the other account? If so, wouldn't that negate any additional security?

I work on a shared office computer where multiple users have access. Having a password protected profile would allow me to set up my profile the way I like it with the passwords for different sites saved and/or autofilled without worrying about other users accessing my accounts. When I do the main log in to access the computer as my work has set up I could then access my edge profile, login and have my set up ready to go. when I leave the computer I can feel confident that someone else isn't writing reports under my name
