Microsoft Edge is, and I’ve been saying for a long time, one of Microsoft’s greatest achievements in recent times. Although, of course, it’s important to clarify at this point that I mean the story that begins to be written when Microsoft finally shuts down its own engine and adopts Chromium. Until then, it was nothing more than the evolution of Internet Explorer, but since then, with the development team focused on adding enhancements to a much more compatible browser than before, we can see its ratings add up.

Of course, not everything in its history is perfect, of course there has been some stumbling, but as we have already told you when it reached version 100, Microsoft Edge continues to grow in many ways and among them in the percentage of the browser market. And it’s because he was recently crowned the second most used in the PC environment, behind the almighty Google Chrome, but a few tenths above the Apple Safari, for which he took the silver medal.

As you know, this is a very competitive market, so no developer can rest on their laurels, or he is exposed to see his numbers dwindle until he is withdrawn into insignificance. At Microsoft, they are well aware of this and also improve the user share (and especially the rating) of their browser and then constantly work on new features that will satisfy existing users and attract new ones. those users who have not yet been prompted to try Edge.

In this line, and how we can read in WindowsLatest, Microsoft Edge is testing the automatic password storage feature. Unlike browsers, which display a message asking us to save to their administrator when they detect that a user is using a login set on a website, with this new feature, Edge would save the username and password directly, automatically and without consulting the user.

I have no doubts about it in Redmond are well aware of the suspicions this feature may raise so when it appears in Microsoft Edge, it won’t be by default. To activate, it will have to be the user who is accessing the configuration (or a message will be displayed informing you) and from then on it will no longer be necessary to confirm that we want to save the specified key.

For users who choose to trust Microsoft Edge Key Managers, this can be quite a convenient feature, but for those who do not trust the technology, it can lead to some mistrust. What is your case? Do you trust the Microsoft browser login administrator to enable this feature?
