Microsoft has been working hard to improve the Chromium-based Edge web browser, and the company’s upcoming feature will allow users to turn off the password reveal button on various websites.

Last year Microsoft added an option to reveal password on websites after typing to help users verify their typed passwords The feature was handy but it posed a security risk because Microsoft doesn’t allow users to set master passwords Now the company added a setting (via Techdows) to make it harder for people to reveal the passwords. passwords on Microsoft Edge New ‘turn off password disclosure’ option removes ‘eye icon’ on websites preventing users from revealing passwords

The feature is currently available to Microsoft Edge Canary users and can be enabled by following the steps below:

This will turn off the eye icon when entering passwords on websites.If you want to turn the feature back on, you can enable the « Show the password » button when entering the entering passwords « Currently functionality is limited to Microsoft Edge Canary users running version 87 or higher

Note that the setting may be overridden by websites For example, disabling the reveal password option does not prevent Google from showing the reveal option when logging into Gmail or Google Drive
