Windows 10 With Windows Edge Browser.

[Tilly2]

How do I get my Windows Edge browser to remember passwords for various sites?

I am still finding my way around this new laptop. Thanks for any help.

Most sites that have the facility usually ask " remember me on this site" Tills. I never let them remember/keep my password.

Why anyone would use a Microsoft browser when Firefox and Chrome are both far better is beyond me but, since you ask, . . .

Click on the 3-dotted More actions link in the top right corner. Click on Settings and then scroll down and click on the View advanced settings button.

Under Privacy and Services, you will see two sliders: Offer to save passwords and Save form entries. Move the buttons to the On position.

Thank you all.

Would I be better off having Chrome as my default browser? I thought Windows Edge was a super duper thing, it being new and all.

Togo, I only really want to save my password for my email account. It's a pain having to put in two passwords to get to Yahoo.

i find chrome much faster than edge

Most of the reviews in the technical press place Chrome and Firefox ahead of Edge. e.g. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-browser-internet-explorer-vs-chrome-vs-firefox-vs-safari-vs-edge/

Chrome is by far the most popular browser in the world but I'm sticking with Firefox.

I'll go back to Chrome then. I know what I'm doing with that.

Thanks for the advice.

Yahoo? Dross Tills. Use Edge with MSN and you will have no problems. No google spam, no non stop cajoling, etc etc. "She who must be obeyed" has a BT email address and since I set her up with Edge and logged in to MSN as her home page she now has no issues regarding conflict of interest from the web pages. You will find that they who run down W10 and Edge are not able to try it out for themselves anyway. I have Chrome installed as a back up browser for us both but we both now use Edge for all our online "business" and day to day surfing. My son who grew up with computers recently spent just shy of a grand on an all singing/dancing desktop and installed Edge and W10, after as a teenager using every browser and operating system possible, and agrees that it is first class. Do not load a new laptop up with a load of conflicting crap on the say so of people who are stuck on w7. You will also notice that most of the people on here who are having problems are running out of date systems on under specified machine for the faster web connections with more than one "security" system bolted on to the perfectly good Defender that comes with W10. Google free zone here and Yahoo is consigned to the dustbin where it belongs. Do not allow BT to barrack you with BT cloud.

Togo, I have BT Cloud on my old laptop. I have been using it to store my photos. I haven't downloaded it on this laptop.

Is One Drive the same sort of thing?

[Togo]

One drive comes with w10 Tills and lets you share you files with other devices and store them similarly to BT cloud.

Tried Edge with Win10, have gone back to Chrome, much better imo.

[Tilly2]

Thank you for that, Togo. I'll have a look later.
We have BT Cloud downloaded because it came as an extra with our updated BT package. We haven't paid for it.

(Well, we have really.)

You can transfer all your photos and files from the old laptop to your new one wirelessly. Not sure whether you need to make a Microsoft account(I have had one for years) You may need to enable the old lappie. All my devices have one drive running. Happy with it. No pop ups no intrusions.

[Togo]

Hi Baldric..... at least you have tried it. I prefer it because I dislike the google all pervasive way of operating and like Bing.

[Tilly2]

The chaps at the local computer shop are going to do the transfers for me, Togo, free of charge. I will take my laptops to them when I have got used to using this new one.

I didn't want to overwhelm myself with too much, too soon.

There's nothing wrong with BT Cloud except for the way it tries to tie you to using BT as your ISP. (i.e. if you change to another ISP you'll lose the BT Cloud service).

Microsoft's One Drive is similar (and not dependent upon your ISP) but a free account gets you less storage space than the most basic BT Cloud service. (With One Drive you get 5GB for free. BT Cloud offers 10GB, 200GB or even 1000GB, depending upon which type of broadband account you've got with BT).

Good call Tills. "Softly, Softly catchee Monkey". Use you charms on the local computer chappies. :))

[Tilly2]

I'll get there eventually. Thank you all for your help.
