The new feature is currently in the pilot stage
Microsoft has announced new password security capabilities for Microsoft Edge, as the browser keeps evolving on all platforms.
The application was already capable of monitoring the passwords and warn when they’ve been exposed, but thanks to this new update, it can also point users directly to the password changing screen on the service they use.
The new feature is currently available in the pilot stage, so only a few sites are currently supporting it, but Microsoft says it’s working around the clock on getting it ready for everybody, and an expansion is expected in the coming months.
“Should any of your saved credentials become compromised or need to be updated due to lack of strength/reused across multiple sites, you will now have the option to update passwords with just one click. Simply navigate to the Settings/Passwords page within Microsoft Edge and click on Change right next to the credentials you’d like to update,” Microsoft explains.
“This will take you directly to the change password page of the account in question. And with password generator, Microsoft Edge will even create a brand new, strong password for you and save it to continue to monitor on your behalf. Easy update is only available across a limited number of sites to start, but we will be working diligently to expand this list in the coming months. This is just another way in which Microsoft Edge is the fast and secure browser that helps you save time and money.”
Rolling out with few sites supported
Microsoft Edge has become one of the most advanced browsers on the market, and the transition to the Chromium engine also allowed it to become a cross-platform application.
Just like Google Chrome, Edge is now available not only on Windows 10, but also on Windows 11 and Windows 8, with dedicated versions also aimed at macOS and Linux.
The new password security feature will go live on all supported platforms, though as said, it will only support a handful of sites before it gets expanded to cover a bigger part of the Internet.
