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?

Well the thing is some devices could be used by multiple users. At the end I am not using different profiles for different mails etc. For my clients still using Edge in my only one profile, if I want to hide my browser history and use it without cookies or that kind of things I use private mode. But in general my family members don't need a laptop but sometimes they need it they use mine, so when they want to use browser to prevent to use my account it needs to be password protected just like video-on-demand companies do on family accounts in their applications. You don't need to set password for all your accounts if you don't want to set then don't set.
