Microsoft released the Chromium based Edge browser last year. And now this
browser is the default browser in Windows 10 operating system. Whether you are
downloading using a preview build, or a new Windows 10 version, you’ll find the
new Microsoft Edge pre-installed. It is also available on Windows Server preview
builds. Microsoft has added many new features and abilities to this browser. If
on your system, Microsoft Edge not saving passwords, this article should help
you.



So whenever you visit a website that requires you to login, there is an option
to keep signed in. If you check that option, your browser will save your login
details for that website. Same applies to the new Microsoft Edge browser. In the
above screenshot, you can see the ‘Save password’ prompt in Edge. However,
sometimes clients may report that Edge browser is not saving their passwords.
Due to this, they have to login each time they visit a website, for which
they’ve saved a password. If you’re also facing this problem, here’s how to fix
it.
