How to find saved passwords in Microsoft Edge
Thanks to the new, streamlined interface, locating your saved passwords in Microsoft Edge is not a hard task to accomplish. Below are the exact steps you need to take to see your passwords stored in the browser.
Note that only passwords you have saved will be stored in Microsoft Edge. If the browser doesn’t have your permission to save your password, it’s not going to get stored in Edge and you can’t use the built-in autofill feature.
-
Launch Microsoft Edge. In the top-right corner of the browser, click on the ellipse icon (this should look like 3 dots horizontally aligned).
-
From the context menu, click on Settings near the bottom of the pop-up panel. Doing so will take you to the Settings page. Alternatively, type in edge://settings to the browser bar and press the Enter key.
-
Make sure to switch to the Profiles tab using the menu in the left-side pane. Here, you can see each user profile that has been used in Edge on your local computer.
-
Select the profile which has your saved passwords, then click on the Passwords link underneath the profile card.
-
Find a password you want to reveal, then click on the Show password icon (which looks like an open eye) next to it.
-
For security reasons, you’ll be asked to provide your local Windows user password, if one is assigned to your account. This is done in an attempt to protect your passwords in case of unauthorized access to your device.
-
After confirming your identity, the password associated with your account will be shown.
-
An alternative way of viewing your stored password in Microsoft Edge is by clicking on the More actions icon and choosing Details.
-
In the pop-up window, click on the Show password icon (the open eye icon), and once again, enter your local Windows password.
- Your stored password will be revealed.
