Microsoft’s Chromium-based Edge browser was released at the start of this year. It has since garnered a ton of praise for being a notch above the old Edge experience. Well, if you’ve been meaning to try out the new Microsoft Edge, then now is the right time as a ton of cool features have just found their way into this browser.
One of the highlights of today’s announcement is the new Password Monitor feature. Microsoft, in the official blog post, says that this feature will “help keep your online accounts safe from hackers.” Wondering how? Well, Password Monitor will match the login credentials you save to auto-fill to those that have been leaked on the dark web to see whether your account may be compromised or not. It will prompt you if that’s the case and help you quickly change the password to safeguard your account.
