Although it is not recommended to save the password in any browser, people often do that to accelerate the login part. If you are an iPad user who saves passwords in the Microsoft Edge browser, then this post will show you how you can manage, edit, and view saved passwords should the need arise.
Microsoft Edge is a fast web browser with all the essential functionalities. Like any other browser, Edge also allows users to save passwords so that they can sign into a website faster. However, it is not recommended to do that for obvious security reasons. If you have already done it earlier and want to delete them as soon as possible, here is what you can do. Also, let’s assume that you forgot the password of a website and you need to retrieve it from your browser. This post will help you here as well.

On the popup window, select Privacy and security option, and it should be the very first option you can find in this panel.
After that, find out the PASSWORDS section and tap on the Saved passwords button.
Now, you can see all the websites where you saved your username and password. Tap on a website that you want to delete or manage from the list. From here, you can check the username, unveil the password, copy the password to the clipboard, delete the entry from your list, etc.
By default, it shows dots as the password for security reasons. If you want to disclose and copy it, tap the password reveal button that looks like an eye. After that, tap the copy button to get it in the clipboard.
You can now do the rest of the jobs. To delete a saved password, you need to tap the Delete button and do the same on the confirmation window.
You should also know about two more important options:Offer to save passwords and Never saved.
- Offer to save passwords: Sometimes you might not want to get the password save prompt whenever you enter a username and password on a website. If you think that it is useless for you and you want to disable it entirely, you need to toggle the respective button. You should see the option after visiting the Privacy and security window.
- Never saved: Whenever you log into a website in the Microsoft Edge browser, it shows a popup window with three options. One of them prevents the browser from saving your login credentials in the browser. If you used that option earlier and you want to lift the ban now, this Never Saved option will be handy for you. You need to remove the site from the list. For that, open up the Never saved menu, select a website, and remove it accordingly.
That’s all! I hope it helps.
