How to disable Microsoft Password Manager

To disable the Microsoft Password Manager, you can use the following methods:

1. Using Group Policy: If you are managing devices in an organization, you can disable the Password Manager using the AllowPasswordManager group policy. This setting can be configured to prevent employees from saving passwords locally.
   • Path: Computer and User Configuration > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge
   • Registry Key: Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main
   • Set the value of FormSuggest Passwords to 0 (not allowed).
2. Using Settings: For individual users, you can disable the password saving feature directly in the Microsoft Edge settings:
   • Open Microsoft Edge.
   • Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
   • Under Services, find the option related to saving passwords and turn it off.
3. Using MDM Policies: If you are using Mobile Device Management (MDM), you can also configure the Pol_MSS_DisableSavePassword policy to prevent saving passwords.

By following these steps, you can effectively disable the Microsoft Password Manager on your device or within your organization.

Thanks for reaching out, Donald.

Here’s how you can disable Microsoft’s built-in password manager in Edge and Windows:

For Microsoft Edge (individual user):

1. Open Edge and click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
2. Go to Settings > Profiles > Passwords.
3. Turn off Offer to save passwords. This stops Edge from asking to save passwords.

For Microsoft Wallet (Edge’s autofill system):

1. In Edge, type edge://wallet/ in the address bar.
2. Go to Settings in the Wallet section and turn off all options like Offer to save passwords, Autofill, etc.

Let me know what happens.
