Question About Edge password manager.

[Morro]

Ok, after having hardened Windows with SpyNetGirls module, I decided this morning to check out Edge's Password Manager, to see if I liked it enough to at least replace Bitwarden in my Edge Browser. No not because Bitwarden is bad, it is definitely safe to say it is not. And I will keep using it in my backup browser Firefox once I have it installed. No because of the security setup I have now I wanted to try Edges Password manager. (Because it would benefit from a lot of security measures.)

I entered a few websites and their passwords, but when I went to those sites, Edge did not autofill the fields and did not load the sites? It did not do anything, even when I reloaded the page. Although not impossible of course, I doubt I did something wrong. Or would uBlock maybe do something to stop it? (I really doubt that, but still.)

There could be several reasons why Edge's Password Manager is not autofilling the fields or loading the sites. It's possible that there may be a compatibility issue with certain websites or that the autofill feature is disabled in your Edge settings. Additionally, certain browser extensions like uBlock could potentially interfere with the autofill functionality. You can try checking the Edge settings to ensure autofill is enabled and try disabling any conflicting extensions to see if that resolves the issue.

Is the 'Autofill Passwords' option toggled on in the Passwords settings page?

Using Proton Pass in Edge with NextDNS, UblockOrigin and F-Secure extension. No issues with autofilling.

Completely irrelevant to the OP's question but thanks for sharing...

I should have added that when I used Edge with NextDNS, UblockOrigin and F-Secure, I also had no issues.

Doh... " I doubt I did something wrong." Me and my to fast mouth!

That was it, thank you so much Gangelo.

Just make sure to enable Prompts to prevent password stealers.

No worries

Browser password managers are inherently insecure. #never

Any password manager with an automatic autofill can be abused the same way and harvested via scripts. Browsers just make it easier, because of users. Bitwarden's autofill vulnerability:

NVD - CVE-2023-27974

I suggest waiting until the devs fix this issue first before move to Edge password manager.

Question is when will they? I mean, there is no hurry on my part, but still. But I am already using Edge Password Manager, so there is that?
