Microsoft Edge Browser removes custom master password options from today and upgrades to authentication based on devices such as Win11

IT House News, June 4th, XDA-Developers published today, June 4th, a story on Microsoft Pushing Uncoded Strategies, Adjusting Microsoft Edge Browser Internal Password Manager, remove custom master password options and replace them with Windows Hello or system-level equipment authentication protection.

IT House Note: The Edge Browser has previously supported the user to set up a custom master password to unlock stored web account information, and as of today Microsoft has removed the relevant options.

Customized master passwords have the advantage of being convenient, and users need only remember one password to view the account information stored. This is not safe enough, however, and as long as the attackers are informed of the main combination, it is possible to unlock the password manager and access multiple online accounts kept by the user.

Microsoft indicates that Edge Browser will automatically use device-based authentication, including Windows Hello,It's not a good idea. Touch ID or operating system level authentication.
