Any chance we have a password generator like Apple Safari?This feature is very much needed for me.
- Hi,
there is a blog post here:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/autofill-blog-2-password-security/m-p/963847
the part where it says: "I want Microsoft Edge to create a password for me when I’m signing into a new account" Can't speak to Microsoft's intention on that one. However, from my perspective, that functionality is better served by using a stand-alone password manager, such Bitwarden. In that way, your passwords are available to use across any browser. I resisted using a password manager for years. Finally broke down and took the leap and now can't rationalize my delay.
It really has all these benefits, but I don't trust any password provider, I'd like all my information to remain in the Microsoft account. Safari, Chrome and Firefox already have this functionality.

This might sound funny but when I used to use Chrome as my default browser, I would keep all my passwords in a password protected Excel file which I put on my OneDrive so I could use it on any device (phone/PC).
now if/when Edge provides an import from file option for passwords I'll gladly use it
