Where Does Microsoft Edge Store Passwords?

If you are a frequent user of Microsoft Edge, you might wonder where this browser stores your passwords. Just like any other web browser, Microsoft Edge also provides a convenient way to save passwords for your favorite websites. However, it's important to understand where these passwords are stored to ensure your sensitive information remains secure.

When you save a password in Microsoft Edge, it is securely stored in the Windows Credential Manager. The Credential Manager is a built-in feature of Windows that securely stores credentials such as usernames and passwords for various applications, including web browsers like Microsoft Edge.

To access the passwords stored in Microsoft Edge, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu
3. Go to 'Settings' and scroll down to 'Profiles'
4. Click on 'Passwords'
5. You will see a list of all saved passwords, and you can manage them from here

It's worth noting that while Microsoft Edge stores passwords securely in the Credential Manager, it's essential to ensure your Windows account is protected with a strong password or PIN to prevent unauthorized access to your saved passwords. Additionally, consider using a reputable password manager to enhance the security of your online accounts.
