How to Delete Saved Passwords in Microsoft Edge

This tutorial will show you how to delete saved website passwords in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 11.

Why Delete Saved Passwords?

The Microsoft Edge web browser included in Windows 11 is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It works with all supported versions of Windows and macOS. It offers speed, performance, great website and extension compatibility, and built-in privacy and security features.

When you visit a website that needs a login, Microsoft Edge asks if you want to save your username and password. Next time you visit, the browser fills in your account info automatically.

If you no longer want a saved password for a website in Microsoft Edge, you can delete it.

What Happens When You Delete?

If you are signed in to Edge with your Microsoft account and turned on sync passwords, deleting a password will also remove it from all your synced devices.
