How to change profile name on Microsoft Edge

On the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge, you can use multiple profiles. A profile allows you to share the web browser with other users without them interfering with your information. Every profile you add keeps all the data separate, such as history, favorites, passwords, extensions, and other settings.

Also, support for profiles is a handy feature when you want to use different Microsoft accounts, and you want to keep your things, such as personal and work separate. The only caveat about profiles is that when you add a new one, it uses a default name, and if you want a more personal experience, it’s possible to change from the settings page.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to change the name of the profile you’re using with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.

How to edit profile name on Microsoft Edge

To change the name of profile you’re using on the Chromium version of Edge, use these steps:

Once you complete the steps, the new name of the profile will be reflected across the browser experience. If you want to create multiple profiles, use these steps.
