Well, hold on now, maybe Microsoft has a reasonable explanation for how they actually do secure their passwords...
This is an expected feature of the application.
... Never mind.
They mean that it won't affect them.

.... They are so bad
Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised.
Yes you can open our safe with just a good yank but if a thief can do that they’re already in your house.
If the thief is already in your house, he can also eat your meal and steal your furniture.
And who in their right mind would break in to a house built by Microsoft?
don't worry bb
Microsoft - So secure we ROT13 encode everything... TWICE!
Eh. To be honest it indeed does not matter much. Scanning your RAM for passwords is much harder than simply reading them off the browsers files. Sure, it is encrypted and the key is not necessarily on your computer, but remember that if the software can decrypt your passwords without you inputting a password or similar, then anything with access to your device can as well.
Don't use your browser's password manager.
For real. Like why isn't that a plugin? I feel like security best practices have advised against using the baked-in password manager in the browser for near a decade now, so any browser claiming an interest in security could score a big win by literally just removing that functionality.
Its a disservice that they even exist st all at this point.
Or simply... Make it encrypted with a password. That simple.
Why did I read "Microsoft Edge lords"?
They say not to worry because they know nobody uses that dumpster fire of a browser so there's no actual risk of your passwords being leaked since you're not using it anyways.
Corporate has entered the chat.
Unless you're like me and the websites you use for work require it and don't work in literally any other browser (I have tried everything)
Hey. Hey. I got some PS scripts

Btw, don't ever copy&paste from your password manager, if that's a problem. That's what memory protection mechanisms in hardware and software are for.
The problem is, the weird way it is implemented in Edge and how MS handles the issue.

Maybe, but at least with my password manager, they'd only get passwords as I use them and not the keys to the kingdom when I open it.

"Handles the issue" is a weird way to say they don't give a shit about protecting your passwords. They had to change this behavior, because chromium doesn't do this by default, so it's not really even negligence in Microsoft at that point. They chose to do this.
And this is why you don't give microslop anything
I am not worried, cause I'm not dumb enough to use Edge or Windows for that matter.
Wow, that's bad.
