"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).

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!

        hoppy1 Welcome to the MSFT Edge Insider community, and thanks for reaching out. Yes, I have good news for you: we recently launched Password generation! You can read the following, or check out the full announcement (screenshotted below) on our What's New page.

         

        "When you're on a website that requires a new password, you can simply select new the password suggested by the browser. Password suggestions are strong, unique, and automatically saved in your profile's saved passwords... If you’re using Microsoft Edge on mobile and syncing your data, then the passwords you generated on your desktop will also be available on your mobile device."
