"Suggest Strong Passwords" isn't working for me.
I've tried "Suggest Strong Passwords," but it's not working for me.
I'm on Edge Beta 88.0.705.49
To test, I went to a web site (for which I had no prior account) and went to create an account. I expected Edge to offer passwords. But it didn't.
How do I get this working? Am I missing something?
(Secondarily, how do I use this feature when I change a password? Seems to me, Edge only offers the existing password to fill the password field (not new "Strong Passwords." What I really want to do is replace my old simple passwords with complex ones generated by Edge.)

- Your post is now 2 years old, but still not working, someone tried to access my gmail with correct password (was a easy password). but edge is not giving a strong password. They should simply add a feature in Microsoft authenticator to get random passwords

- I have the same problem, the password generator only works in very few websites, not all of them. and I want Edge password generator to suggest strong password during sign up, even when I already have a set of credentials saved in that website.
if you haven't already, submit a feedback using the feedback button on Edge
press (...) menu => help and feedback => submit feedback- Same problem, doesnt work for me in 100 percent of websites in any version or channel. How did it get into stable like that? I did send feedback a while ago but no response so far
Hi,
an update to this, from one of the developers:
"password generation not being offered on many pages is a big issue we're trying to tackle right now. We're using machine learning to figure out what actually is a sign up page since it's not like there's any standard for them, but to help fill in the gaps, we've got a form here that anybody can fill out if they run into a site that it isn't triggering for:
"
I have personally submitted +30 sites so far.
- Same here, I've just reported this to support and ended up here 🙂 hello
