Re: Top Feedback Summary for July 21
MissyQ As always, great to hear of your progress and plans. I have to say, however, that I am disappointed to not see an issue on your list: Edge support for the system back button when using Windows 10 in tablet mode. Tapping the system back button should navigate backwards in the browser's page history stack; instead, it kicks you from the application altogether, giving focus to the previous app. Needless to say, this is very jarring. On Surface devices, this presents a significant usability issue when trying to use touch. I had assumed that this would just be fixed as a matter of course, as it violates a rather specific Windows user interface convention. But it's been 18 months... If you have no plans to address this, maybe you should tell the Windows team to kill tablet mode altogether (and then we can all go buy iPads instead). Thanks for listening.12KViews5likes1CommentRe: Autofill in Microsoft Edge
Elliot Kirk For the password management feature, it's good to see this more integrated into the browser. However, one of the biggest usability issues with Credential Manager today is the lack of any kind of search / sort / filter, coupled with the lack of friendly display names for sites. When you accumulate a significant number of credentials it can be very difficult to find passwords for specific sites. In Edge, please consider adding a simple search or filter function to the user interface to address this issue. --------------- Edit: well, color me silly. This functionality already exists in Edge Insider (not a Chrome user here, so I have no background familiarity to draw on). I haven't imported any passwords into Edge Insider as I am a LastPass user, but I just installed the browser on my wife's PC and discovered that what I describe above basically already exists. So yeah, carry on! Thanks for listening.47KViews1like2CommentsRe: Autofill in Microsoft Edge
ppnacho Hey, thanks for the response. I believe I understand what you want, and if so, then Edge already does this. I don't use Chrome, so I am not familiar with how it handles password management, but in Edge Insider you must provide your Windows credentials to be able to view stored passwords. This is like using a "master password" in Firefox and LastPass. This is already how it works, and I have no reason to think Microsoft will alter this in the future when password syncing becomes available. Cheers.17KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Autofill in Microsoft Edge
ppnacho As MaryB has said, you must enter your credentials a second time in order to see the password. Even if you forget to lock your computer when you walk away from it and a malicious user arrives before the computer locks automatically, they still have to know your credentials to see these passwords. Just having access to your user session is not enough. In effect, your Microsoft account, domain account, or Windows user account credential plays the same role as a master password does for LastPass.17KViews1like4Comments
