Microsoft Edge to Get Leaked Password Tool, Battery-Saving Efficiency Mode, and Price Tracking Improvements

Microsoft Edge will gain three new features that will improve their browsing experience while also protecting their personal information. The first feature attempts to streamline the process of resetting a leaked password; the second feature is an efficiency mode that aids users in power conservation while on battery power. As part of an upgrade to the browser's shopping feature, Microsoft also unveiled an updated price tracker that would alert users to online deals.

In a blog post on the Windows Experience Blog, the firm revealed that it was enhancing two Microsoft Edge tools, Password Health Dashboard and Password Monitor, to allow users to swiftly replace stolen passwords. Users will be able to reset their password on a site where their credentials have been exposed with a single click inside the password settings, thanks to the new "quick update" option. On Microsoft Edge, go to the three-dot menu > Settings > Passwords and click Change next to the impacted password.
