"Suggest Password" Feature

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

Can't believe it's taking them that long to add this feature. Making me go back to Chrome.

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

      tallonzek Sure thing, happy to help! (And to clarify, at this time I can't definitively promise whether or not this exact feature will be implemented. However, I can confirm that the team has heard this feedback loud and clear, and is looking into it.)

       

      Thanks!
