"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).

Any chance that Edge will ever suggest stronger passwords? I use 100+ long.
Kam I do not see the suggest password option in the right click context menu of either the DEV or CANARY builds out currently (as of 2/9/21).
I'm running Version 90.0.793.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
I've also tried this on Version 90.0.782.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
starkweatherd This feature is part of a controlled feature rollout and not yet available to all Insiders. Related post here - New improvement on Strong password suggestion feature in Edge - Microsoft Tech Community
Thanks for your patience! 😃
- yes, this is something I would like to see as well
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

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge- Thanks for the update, looking forward to this being implemented.
- I cannot believe that its not among popular feedback requests. Password generator is must have tool in Chromium based browser. Generating strong passwords and way to access it remotely like from passwords.google.com is necessary. Already submited feedback more times...
- Great idea 💡 👍 +1
Totally agree, same request from my side that are blocking my switch from Chrome to Edge.
