Reset Microsoft Edge password storage system

By default, Microsoft Edge automatically asks you to save your passwords. If you want to turn this feature off, select the slider next to Offer to Save Passwords .

Even though the prompt dialog is disabled, you can still select the security key icon in the address bar to save the password manually.

If Microsoft Edge recognizes a saved site, it will use your saved password details to sign you in automatically. To turn this feature off, slide the slider next to Sign In Automatically .

As part of its security features, Edge also automatically hides your passwords when you type them online. To check if your password is correct, select the eye icon to reveal it.

If you want to hide the eye icon in the password field as well, toggle the Show the Reveal password button in password field slider  to turn this feature off.
