To clarify, the provided information discusses editing saved passwords in Microsoft Edge, not resetting your Microsoft Edge account password. If you've forgotten your Microsoft account password, the process is different. However, if you're looking to change a saved website password within Edge, here's how:
Editing a Saved Password in Microsoft Edge
You can edit a saved password in Microsoft Edge by following these steps:
- Go to Settings and more (usually represented by three horizontal dots).
- Select Settings.
- Click on Profiles.
- Choose Passwords.
- Find the password you wish to change and click More actions (usually three vertical dots) next to it.
- Select Edit.
- You will be prompted to authenticate with your operating system (e.g., using your Windows password, PIN, or biometric authentication) to access and change the password.
Here's a table summarizing the steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open Settings and more |
| 2 | Go to Settings |
| 3 | Select Profiles |
| 4 | Click on Passwords |
| 5 | Find password and click More actions |
| 6 | Choose Edit |
| 7 | Authenticate to the operating system |
Important Considerations:
- This process only edits a password that is already saved in Microsoft Edge. This is useful if you've changed your password on a website and need to update the saved version in Edge.
- If you've forgotten your Microsoft account password (the password you use to sign in to Windows, Outlook, etc.), you'll need to go through the Microsoft account recovery process, which is different. You can typically initiate this process on the Microsoft account sign-in page by clicking on "Forgot password?".
