Microsoft Edge users, this is worth checking.
Recent reports say Edge loads saved passwords into plaintext memory while the browser is running. Microsoft says this needs a compromised device or user session first, but that still matters, especially on shared PCs.
Back up your logins, move them to a dedicated password manager, then remove saved passwords from Edge.
Do you still trust browser-based password managers?
