How to Disable Microsoft Edge’s Built-in Password Manager

Microsoft Edge has a built-in password manager, Microsoft Wallet, that saves and autofills your login credentials. If you use a third-party password manager like Bitdefender SecurePass or don’t want Microsoft Edge storing your passwords, you can turn off this feature.

 

Follow these steps to stop Edge’s password-saving prompts on your Windows or Mac computer.


 

Step 1: Open Microsoft Edge Settings

  1. Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
  2. Click on the three-dot menu ( … ) in the top-right corner of the browser.
  3. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.

    • Save and fill memberships
