Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Microsoft Edge keeps every saved password as plain readable text in its memory as soon as you open the browser. This includes passwords for websites you have not even visited yet. Google Chrome only unlocks passwords when you actually need them. A security researcher created a tool that shows how admins can easily copy passwords from other users’ Edge browsers on shared computers or work setups. Microsoft says this is “by design.” But the browser still asks you to log in again, even while it holds all the passwords unprotected in memory. This creates real risks on shared devices.
