Hi mgw000, glad you found the feature useful! Password Monitor scans and notifies the user of all compromised passwords, without exception. However, we hear you about excluding IP Addresses from the scan; many users unfortunately use weak passwords for networks, routers and such. To that end, there's an easy to use 'Ignore' button that moves such password entries into an ignore tray - from which point on, there will be no further action sought on them by the browser.

Let us know if this answers your question.

When will the Password Monitor feature show up in the release version of Edge? I have a Chrome extension that this morning advised me that it will not work after today since it will be in Chrome. So when Will it be in Edge or do I have to go to the Dev release?

    We hear you,Kam! Password Monitor, like other features, will be brought to the release version when it meets the high standards of quality that Stable channel users deserve and have come to expect. That day is not too far out, although i'm unable to share an exact date here. Thanks for your patience, and self-hosting the feature!
