You can now use Edge’s password manager to log into mobile apps

Microsoft is updating Edge on Thursday to allow the browser’s password manager to sign in to your mobile apps. The new version, technically Edge 92, also includes new password security features via a password health dashboard.

The Edge mobile app should be able to use the browser’s password manager in a manner similar to other services such as BitWarden or 1Password. Using your login credentials that you’ve accumulated in Edge, you can easily log into apps like Pinterest or Instagram, probably with the autofill type experience you’re used to.

Microsoft already offered a universal password management feature in Microsoft Authenticator, which allowed you to set it as the default autofill option in iOS or Android. Microsoft says the mobile version of Edge will work the same so you can set it as an autofill option in iOS.

According to Microsoft, Edge can now also tell you if a password has been used across multiple sites and if a new password is “strong” through a password health dashboard. Both features look like tabletop stakes that should have been used on Edge by now, but it’s good that they’re here now.

For Outlook users, Microsoft now also offers an Outlook extension for Edge that lets you check your calendar and contacts, and send emails, all without opening a new tab or the Outlook app.

You can download the new version of Edge now.
