Once you have saved passwords on your browsers, it eliminates the need to type in passwords every time or remember passwords for the websites you seldom access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you have observed, auto-filling passwords usually requires a simple tap. And if your device is being used by another individual, they can access your accounts quickly with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tackle this, Microsoft Edge had the option to require the device password to use saved passwords. And now, the giant has added the custom primary password feature, which adds another layer of authentication to the auto-filling process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When enabled, you need to type in a password\/key to facilitate the auto-filling of passwords, card details, addresses, and other data on any website in Edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Custom_Primary_Password_in_Edge\"><\/span>Create a Custom Primary Password in Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide to creating a custom primary password for the saved passwords in Microsoft Edge.
