Password protection for Profiles
Feature Request: It would be good if the profiles were password protected, means while switching profiles, edge should prompt for a password for selected profiles(as per the need of user), what do yo...
@l-Matt-I I did like you for a small Business and used LockPW on Chrome... But it's got limitations (can't automatically generate new profiles on chrome, difficult to centrally manage settings etc).
Like all of you I've been very much looking for the ability to add a password lock when switching profiles.
Use case is always the same: Central computer used by multiple people (e.g. retail store) and you have youngsters that are here just for a few days/weeks.
You want to use the same account on computers to share files, data, and have a full O365 licence to access the full MS suite etc and for ease of usage.
But you want the young store reps to have their own basic account and log in some way to Edge with all their credentials and links stored. Like that we can track online who has performed what activity.
So our plan was to add their basic accounts as profiles and ask them to lock them with a password (or use their basic account microsoft password).
Like that the master Edge is logged to the central store account, but the reps can add their personal basic account, and they are the only ones that can access their own credentials/passwords/links.

How is this not a feature yet? This would be very useful for me. I will share my personal example which everyone at my workplace would agree.
We have 2 main computers in our office, of which around 11 people share across different shift times and days.
We all have to log into up to 10 different websites in order to do our job, all of which are private and confidential.
Currently, we have to sign in to everything separately.
If we could all have a profile each, which will have our own passwords saved/auto-filled on our separate profiles and have these profiles password protected so that we could not access eachothers accounts, this would be amazing.
This would stop us from having to sign in to multiple sites constantly throughout our shifts when we could just "log-in" to our profile and then seamlessly use the sites we need without having to log in all of the time.
