Microsoft Edge password monitor activation

Microsoft Edge is its latest attempt to dominate the browser market, using Google's proven recipe.

Και επειδή ο Google Chrome διαθέτει μια λειτουργία password monitor, η εταιρεία αποφάσισε να την συμπεριλάβει στον her. So the new feature appeared in the Canary and Dev versions.

Why do you need a password monitor in your browser?

The answer is simple. This feature allows the app to check your passwords and determine if they are being compromised online. The password monitor feature will alert you as soon as this happens, prompting you to change the password that was exposed as soon as possible.password monitor

Microsoft explains that such a feature is useful, as many continue to use the same password over and over again.

"The χρησιμοποιούν αυτοματοποιημένα scripts για να δοκιμάσουν διαφορετικούς συνδυασμούς ονόματος χρήστη και κωδικού πρόσβασης που έχουν διαρρεύσει για να παραβιάσουν άλλους λογαριασμούς. Όταν παραβιαστεί ένας λογαριασμός, ο ιδιοκτήτης του μπορεί να είναι ο στόχος κλοπής ταυτότητας, παράνομων μεταφορών χρημάτων ή άλλων παράνομων δραστηριοτήτων”, αναφέρει η εταιρεία.

The password monitor feature checks your passwords from a collection list of passwords known to be circulating online after breaches. If a match is found, one is automatically sent on your device.

How can you activate the password monitor?

It's very easy, as long as you run some of the latest Canary or Dev versions of Microsoft Edge. Microsoft has added a special option that you will find if you follow the path (after logging in to your account):

Microsoft Edge - Settings - Profiles - Passwords - Show alerts when passwords are found in an online leak

The feature is currently being sent off in Microsoft Edge, so you will need to enable it manually. We do not yet know if Microsoft will enable this feature by default for everyone as soon as the stable version of the browser is released.
