Generate Passwords
As we said in the Past, Edge has got the ability to suggest strong passwords. The Edge’s built-in Password generator may come in handy when you create a new account on a website.
While creating a new account on a website, click on the Password field, and select “suggest Strong Password” and select the Password generated by Edge or use the refresh option, or the browser to offer another password.
Copy and Edit Passwords
Edge allows to copy and edit saved Passwords in the browser.
To edit a Password stored in Edge
- Visit edge://settings/Passwords
- Under Saved Passwords
- Click on the three-dot icon and select “Copy password” or “Edit” and enter the Windows OS password when prompted.
Cookies and Site permissions Settings redesign
Cookies and site Permissions Settings page has been revamped. It now displays settings in a card-based view. The redesign allows managing cookies and navigating to settings much easier than before, and the design looks slick and neat.
New History menu
History menu follows the Favorites UI revamp, lets you access recently closed sites on the fly. The History flyout also lists all History entries and Tab from other devices.
Other new features and interesting additions:
- Edge for Mac receives Picture-in-Picture support through Touch bar

- You can now add comments or text notes to PDFs on Windows as well as other platforms.
- If you visit shopping websites and do a handful of purchases, Edge’s coupons flyout now has a price comparison feature included.
