Would be great to be able to generate strong passwords similarly to Chrome's "Suggest Password" feature (right-click on password fields).

Thank you for the suggestion igizotov. We are looking for ways to ensure the security and privacy of our customers as they browse. I will make sure the product team sees this suggestion.

Elliot Kirk This is one of the very few things that's delaying my switch from Chrome to Edge: I would like to have a built-in password manager that can (1) sync across multiple devices, and (2) just work by magic, as long as I am using the browser profile associated with that MS account.

I cannot believe that its not among popular feedback requests. Password generator is must have tool in Chromium based browser. Generating strong passwords and way to access it remotely like from passwords.google.com is necessary. Already submited feedback more times...

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this. Both efficiency and privacy are top-of-mind for the MS Edge team, especially with regard to passwords. I just checked in with our team again and confirmed that this feedback is indeed on their radar. In the meantime, here's an article from Elliot that provides some more detail and context. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/autofill-blog-2-password-security/m-p/963847 Fawkes (they/them)Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge

yes, this is something I would like to see as well

  Elliot Kirk This would be amazing! I find myself bouncing back and forth between browsers and using the sync feature in edge to bring the password as an import. I so wish this feature was available. I've been using chrome for as long as I can remember and it is a great browser; however, the footprint of edge on resources is very luring.
