Saved Passwords in Edge are now available to All apps on Mobile - System Wide Password Manager
I've been using Microsoft Authenticator Beta app for a while on my Android phone, today I received an update and now the app works as a system-wide password manager (Password filler), for all websites and apps. This should work on IOS too. Links to Google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azure.authenticator&hl=en_US&gl=US And App store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-authenticator/id983156458 (remember you have to enroll in Beta for now until this is rolled out to the public) Q: How are my passwords protected by the Authenticator app? A: Authenticator app already provides a high level of security for multi-factor authentication and account management, and the same high security bar is also extended to managing your passwords.

I want to suggest to sync passwords saved in Edge with Windows credential manager in order for them to be accessible to all other apps and programs in Windows and also operate as a system wide password manager. Windows credential manager stores passwords from Internet explorer and legacy Edge but not the new Edge browser, the link is broken and the two components don't talk to each other anymore. the problem at the moment is that some passwords are stored in my Edge browser password manager, some others are stored in Windows credential manager by other apps, If i want to change password of a website, I have to manually update it in both places. also the apps i use on Windows 10 only talk to Windows credential manager and they don't use Edge password manager, so this creates the need to save password in 2 places and duplicate them. Such a great secure encrypted native feature in Windows that is rarely paid attention to. this is the system-wide password manager of Windows, just like the one in Android and Mac.Password Generator Feedback - How Are You Finding It?
Hi all, I am very happy that this has been added but out of the many account sign-ups I have made in the last few weeks, the generator has shown up just once. I believe that a different approach may have to be taken and that is a "Generate Strong Password" option in the right click menu that shows on a webpage that has other form data such as a name or address. That way, the user can generate a password as and when it is needed, regardless of whether it has been vetted by the dev team or has the appropriate tag in the code. Either that, or a generator option in the Password Manager in settings. At the moment, I am still visiting an external site to generate them for me. What do you all think? FYI, I am writing this on my experience with Canary builds.SS4: right menu management - remove items manager
Suggestion (SS): 4 Classification: RIGHT MENU PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 8 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) in other post i suggested you to manage right menu related to extension. per default extension add items to this. more extension you install, more longer will be the right menu = it takes hours to find the right option and you need to scroll 100km too. i suggested you to add a manager for this, so i can disable specific extension. (yes i know, some extension allow that in the setting, but i still a pain to open 100 setting to check that, and maybe is still not available at all). without considering that i need to do that for each edge profile. now there is another problem. edge (like other browser too) show me a lot of things that i don't want to see in right menu (maybe i want to see it only on my menu bar or other). so please include in this right menu manager even an option to remove edge default commands! in this case you could delete translate, leggi alta voce, trasmetti, stampa, salva, aggiorna, indietro, inoltra ---> or better you simply keep add to collections.... i know the right menu is not always the same, so we need to configure such option different time. but this doesn't matter, because what i told you to skip before, you should skip from all my right menus. once i configure right menu for photos, then i will just remove other items that i don't need.

instead of showing only this and the panel /download, you should add even a download manager in the style of safari/firefox. this means: last added downloads are visible on the bottom, other hidden files on the button (because there is no enough space on the bottom), without need to open a tab to access /download. options like pause, restart, delete should be available Conclusion: both option should be available at the same time.
