How To View And Manage Saved Passwords On Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge, like most browsers, has a built-in password manager tool. Whenever you forget a password or would like to update it, MS Edge has your back. You can always simply surf through the settings and view the list of all your saved passwords. 

But there’s more to it. You can also change, delete, or import passwords from your old browsers directly. This also comes in handy if you’re switching your browser.
