How to enable or disable password generator on Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge now includes a password generator that automatically suggests strong passwords when creating an account online – whether it’s for a retailer, bank, or your favorite website. 

The feature also suggests new complex passwords that are difficult to guess when changing existing credentials. When using this feature, if you decide to use the suggested password, Microsoft Edge will save and sync it automatically across all your devices connected with a Microsoft account.

In this guide, you will learn the steps to enable or disable the password generator built into Microsoft Edge.
