Windows 10 Edge is a browser made on the structure of Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge browser is pre-installed in your Windows 10 operating system.

The Microsoft team came up with this new browser after hearing many complaints about the Internet Explorer for years. The flat simple look of the Edge browser is ice to the eyes and the performance is also really good.

I am using edge from a couple of months to test its performance and User-Friendliness. During my testing i found it to be good enough as compared to other Internet Browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.

The Edge browser located in your taskbar for your quick access, you can also find it by “Asking Cortana” or going to Start>>All Files.

Can You View saved passwords Windows 10 Edge?

As you know that Microsoft or other big internet companies take user security very seriously. You cannot just go in and see the saved passwords.

There is no way you can see your saved passwords or the password of others.

This makes sense because let’s say you have a guest at your home and he is sharing your laptop. What if he just goes in and sees your saved passwords? I think you got my point.

You can see your username or change your password but you cannot see your own saved passwords.

To change passwords manually just click on the Accounts that are listed as shown in the above screenshot and in no time you can change your password.

By the way, when you update your password and log in to any web service where you have been before. Microsoft Edge browser automatically updates its database with the new password.

Just in case you want to change passwords manually or remove the saved passwords in Edge browser, you can use this option.
