Microsoft Edge, like most browsers, has a built-in password manager tool. Whenever you forget a password or would like to update it, MS Edge has your back. You can always simply surf through the settings and view the list of all your saved passwords. 

But there’s more to it. You can also change, delete, or import passwords from your old browsers directly. This also comes in handy if you’re switching your browser.

To View Saved Passwords on Edge

Along with viewing your passwords, you can also see the total number of saved, unsaved, reused, and weak or compromised passwords. 

On PC

The following steps to view your saved passwords on the MS Edge browser are the same on both Windows and Mac.  

  1. Launch Edge and click on the three dots in the top-right corner. 
  2. Scroll down and go to Settings. 
  3. Now, you’ll see your Profile from the Profiles section. 
  4. From the options below your profile, select Passwords. 
    Edge-Profile-Passwords
  5. Here, you can view all your saved passwords in hidden form. To reveal the password content, click on the eye icon next to any password. 
    Edge-View-Passwords-Eye-Icon
  6. For security reasons, Edge will require you to enter your Windows password. If you’re on a Mac, enter its admin passcode. Then, click on OK.

  7. Click on the eye icon again to reveal the other remaining passwords.

For the rest of the passwords, you won’t need to re-enter your admin password. 

On Mobile

The following steps to view saved passwords are the same whether you’re using Android or iPhone.

  1. Open Edge and tap on the three dots at the bottom of the homepage. 
  2. From the menu options, go to Settings. 
  3. Select your profile details.
