"Suggest Strong Passwords" isn't working for me.

[Captain_Eric]

I've tried "Suggest Strong Passwords," but it's not working for me.

I'm on Edge Beta 88.0.705.49

To test, I went to a web site (for which I had no prior account) and went to create an account. I expected Edge to offer passwords. But it didn't.

How do I get this working? Am I missing something?

(Secondarily, how do I use this feature when I change a password? Seems to me, Edge only offers the existing password to fill the password field (not new "Strong Passwords." What I really want to do is replace my old simple passwords with complex ones generated by Edge.)

I have the same problem, the password generator only works in very few websites, not all of them. and I want Edge password generator to suggest strong password during sign up, even when I already have a set of credentials saved in that website.

if you haven't already, submit a feedback using the feedback button on Edge
press (...) menu => help and feedback => submit feedback

Same problem, doesnt work for me in 100 percent of websites in any version or channel. How did it get into stable like that? I did send feedback a while ago but no response so far

Hi,

an update to this, from one of the developers:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/dev-channel-update-to-89-0-774-4-is-live/m-p/2112...

"password generation not being offered on many pages is a big issue we're trying to tackle right now.  We're using machine learning to figure out what actually is a sign up page since it's not like there's any standard for them, but to help fill in the gaps, we've got a form here that anybody can fill out if they run into a site that it isn't triggering for:

"

I have personally submitted +30 sites so far.

@HotCakeX thx, interesting but I wonder how Google did solve the problem. Never had an issue there. I switched back to Chrome because of it.

Chrome had many years to overcome that problem, Edge added this feature only few months ago.

New improvement on Strong password suggestion feature in Edge

exactly what I am talking about

Same here, I've just reported this to support and ended up here :) hello

[#10]

on Edge canary, it's working by default on almost all websites.
the changes will gradually come to lower channels too such as Dev, Beta and then stable.
