How to Delete Saved Passwords in Microsoft Edge

Why Delete Saved Passwords?

You might want to delete saved passwords in Microsoft Edge for better security or privacy, especially if you’ve used a public computer or shared your device. Removing old or unused login details helps protect your online accounts from unauthorized access.

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?

When you delete a saved password in Microsoft Edge, it’s permanently removed from your browser. If you’re signed into Edge with your Microsoft account and have password syncing turned on, deleting a password on one device will remove it from all your other devices too.
