Maybe you need to log into a site and cannot recall the password Microsoft Edge filled in for you months ago. Maybe you want to clean up old logins, stop the save prompt from appearing, or check whether any of your passwords have leaked.
Edge stores your logins in Microsoft Password Manager, and everything is reachable from one settings area. This guide walks through every verified method across desktop and mobile, ordered quickest and most common first, with the exact menu paths.
For full save, sync, and cross-device viewing, sign into Edge with a personal Microsoft account. Work or school accounts may have some password features restricted by an IT administrator.
Open Microsoft Password Manager on Desktop
This is the fastest way to reach every saved login on Windows or Mac. From here you can view, reveal, and edit any entry.
- 1.Open Microsoft Edge.
- 2.Select the three-dot Settings and more menu in the top-right corner, then select Settings.
- 3.Go to Passwords and autofill, then select Microsoft Password Manager.
To jump straight there, type edge://settings/passwords in the address bar and press Enter. You can also open Settings quickly with the Alt+F shortcut.
View or Reveal a Saved Password
Once you are in Microsoft Password Manager, finding a specific login takes a few clicks.
- 1.Next to the password you want to view, select the right arrow.
- 2.If prompted, enter your device PIN or password to authenticate.
- 3.Select the eye icon to reveal the existing password.
Edge may ask for your device PIN or password each time you reveal a password, especially if device sign-in prompting is enabled. This is expected and protects your logins if someone else opens your browser.
Edit a Saved Password
If you changed a password on a website and want Edge to store the new one, update the entry directly.
- 1.Open the entry using the right arrow as above, authenticating if prompted.
- 2.Select Edit, make your changes, then select Save.
One important point: editing a password inside Edge does not change the password on the actual website. Edit the stored value only to keep it matching the real site password, otherwise autofill will stop working for that login.
Turn the Save-Password Prompt On or Off
If Edge keeps asking to save logins (or has stopped asking and you want it back), control the prompt here.
- 1.Select Settings and more (Alt+F), then Settings.
- 2.Select Profiles, then open your passwords area (surfaced as Passwords and autofill or Microsoft Password Manager in current builds).
- 3.Toggle Offer to save passwords Off to stop the prompt, or On to receive it again.
You can also toggle Sign in automatically off for extra control. Turning the save prompt off does not delete any passwords you have already saved; it only stops new ones from being offered.
Require Authentication Before Filling Passwords
To stop anyone with access to your unlocked browser from autofilling or viewing your logins, add a device-authentication step.
- 1.Go to Settings > Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager.
- 2.Select More settings.
- 3.Make sure the Autofill passwords and passkeys toggle is enabled.
- 4.Enable the prompt for device sign-in options before viewing or filling a website password.
After this, Edge requires device authentication (Windows Hello, macOS Touch ID, or your device sign-in password) before autofilling. Note that Custom Primary Password is being retired in favor of this device-based authentication; it is unavailable to new users from March 5, 2026 and fully removed on June 4, 2026, with an automatic switch to device-based sign-in.
Check for Leaked, Weak, or Reused Passwords
Edge can scan your saved logins against a database of known leaked credentials. This feature, Password Monitor, is available only on Windows and macOS.
- 1.Sign in with your Microsoft account or work/school account.
- 2.Select Settings and more (...) > Settings.
- 3.Select Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager.
- 4.Select Password security check.
- 5.Toggle on the leaked password scan in settings.
Any passwords that are leaked, reused, or weak appear on the checkup page; you can also open it directly by typing edge://settings/autofill/passwords/checkup in the address bar. To fix a compromised account, select Change to open that site's password reset, or select Ignore to dismiss entries that no longer apply. Your passwords are hashed and encrypted before being checked.
Export Your Passwords to a File
If you are moving to another password manager or want a backup, you can export to a CSV file. This is available on desktop only.
- 1.Open Microsoft Edge.
- 2.Select Settings and more (Alt+F), then Passwords (Microsoft Password Manager).
- 3.Select the More (...) option within the password page, then choose Export passwords.
- 4.Select Export to confirm.
- 5.Choose where to save the file.
Handle this file carefully. The exported CSV is not encrypted and is readable by anyone who can open it. After you have used it, permanently delete it with Shift+Delete; this does not affect the passwords still stored in Edge.
View and Manage Passwords on iOS or Android
The Edge mobile app keeps the same synced passwords, reachable through your profile.
- 1.Open the Microsoft Edge app.
- 2.Tap Settings and more > Settings.
- 3.Select Profiles > Passwords to view and manage your saved passwords.
A few mobile-specific notes. You cannot export passwords from the Edge mobile app; export is desktop-only. In InPrivate browsing on iOS and Android, Edge will not save new passwords but will still offer to autofill ones you saved previously.
Delete Saved Passwords on Mobile
You can remove saved passwords on a phone or tablet through the clear-data flow.
- 1.Tap Settings and more > Settings.
- 2.Select Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data > Choose what to clear.
- 3.Scroll down, select Passwords, then tap Clear now.
Be careful here: if you are signed in and syncing, deleting passwords removes them from all of your synced devices, not just the current one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to enter my PIN every time I view a password?
Revealing a saved password requires you to pass device authentication, such as your device PIN, password, Windows Hello, or macOS Touch ID. With the device sign-in prompt enabled, Edge may ask each time you view or fill a password, which keeps your logins private if someone else has your browser open.
If I edit a password in Edge, does it change on the website too?
No. Editing the entry inside Microsoft Edge only updates the value Edge has stored. The actual website password stays the same, so you should change it on the site first, then keep the Edge-stored value matching it.
Can I export my passwords from the Edge app on my phone?
No. Exporting saved passwords is available on desktop only. It is not possible to export from Edge for Android or iOS.
Will turning off "Offer to save passwords" delete my saved logins?
No. Turning off the prompt only stops Edge from offering to save new credentials. Passwords you have already saved remain in Microsoft Password Manager.
Why can't I find the Password Monitor on my phone?
Password Monitor, the leaked, weak, and reused password check, is currently available only on Windows and macOS. It does not appear in the mobile app.
If I delete a password on my phone, is it gone everywhere?
Yes, if you are signed in and syncing. Deleting passwords on mobile while sync is on removes them from all of your synced devices, not only the one you are using.
