View saved passwords in Microsoft Edge Chromium

View saved passwords in Microsoft Edge Chromium

---

The use of Edge passwords is one of the simplest but at the same time most effective security methods to increase privacy and unauthorized access to platforms, files or websites, of course. In this current world the use of too many passwords is required for all kinds of objects and by security rule TechnoWikis has recommended and will continue to do so by not using easily detectable passwords such as identification numbers, telephone numbers, addresses, etc, and much less use the same password for each site where it is required..

 

The bad thing about this is that we can forget some of these passwords, affecting the entrance to said site, for this Microsoft Edge Chromium offers us the possibility of hosting the password of said site (along with the respective user) within the navigation profile, which simplifies access. Just go to that web address and the user field will automatically be completed and the password will be automatically saved, preventing us from doing so, but we must be aware of the risk of this by not allowing anyone to access the system, as it could enter these sites.

Comments

When revealing passwords it does so for all sites, not just one, so all sites' passwords then become available to view. Plus, there's no multi-factor authentication (MFA) required to reveal the passwords, so a hacker with your username/password could reveal ALL stored passwords without being prompted for MFA. I also can't see a way to lock access to the stored passwords once viewed either. This seems rather lax, security wise (yes, very convenient for users, but that's not the point of security!).
