In Microsoft Edge, you can easily save passwords for any website, then autofill your login info next time you visit that site. By default, Edge will offer to save your passwords automatically. In this article, we’ll teach you how to take advantage of that feature, plus how to view, delete, or edit passwords you’ve already saved on your PC or Mac. We’ll also cover troubleshooting tips for common issues with Edge’s password management tools.

Enter your username and password on a website.
In the window that pops up offering to save your password, click Save.
View, edit, or delete saved passwords by going to ••• > Settings > ☰ > Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager.

- Select ☰ at the top left side of the page (on a Mac, skip this step).
- Click Passwords and autofill in the left-hand menu bar that opens.

Why isn’t Edge offering to save passwords? This typically has something to do with your password management settings.
- To check your settings, go to ••• > Settings > ☰ (skip this on Mac) > Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager. Make sure Ask to save passwords is toggled on.
- If “Ask to save passwords” is already enabled, it’s possible you asked Edge never to save passwords for the particular site you’re using. Click More settings and look at the Declined sites and apps section at the bottom of the menu. If you see the site on the list, click the X next to it to remove it. Next time you log in, you should be prompted to save the password.
- You can also add passwords manually in the Microsoft Password Manager menu. Click + Add next to the Passwords header, fill in the login information for the site, and click the blue Add button.

Why aren’t my saved passwords filling in automatically? You might have autofill turned off. This is another setting you can adjust from the Microsoft Password Manager menu.
- Go to ••• > Settings > ☰ (skip this on Mac) > Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager.
- Click More settings.
- Make sure Autofill passwords and passkeys is toggled on.
- Check that the radio button next to Fill website password and sign in automatically, or suggest available passkeys is filled in. If one of the other options is selected, Edge will prompt you for your device’s login credentials or a “custom primary password” instead.
