Password generator

Passwords generated in Microsoft Edge are automatically saved to your account for your convenience. To access it, go to Settings and more > Settings > Password. Then scroll down to view saved passwords.

Yes—Microsoft Edge auto-fills your password across all your devices where you're signed in and syncing passwords.

When you open a web page that contains a sign-up form or a change password field, Microsoft Edge activates Password Generator. When you select the password field, Password Generator suggests a strong password in a drop-down menu. You just need to select the suggested password and submit it to the website. That’s it. The suggested password is now saved in your browser and will be auto-filled the next time you come to the website. It will also be available on all your devices where you're signed in and syncing passwords.

If you don’t find the Password Generator drop-down working as expected on any website, right-click or press and hold on the password field and select Suggest strong password; the password generator drop-down will appear.

Password Generator requires you to be signed in and syncing passwords. If you're signed in but not syncing, you'll see a setting called Suggest strong passwords under Settings and more  > Settings  > Profiles > Password

Turn on password sync first, and then turn on Password Generator by selecting Suggest strong passwords.

If you don’t see the Password Generator suggestion on your favorite website, let us know.
