Thank you. You showed me clearly how to stop the Edge browser from offering to save passwords. Thank you!! But, to my shock, when I clicked on ‘manage passwords’ to make sure there weren’t any, I found that probably every password I ever entered anywhere was saved, even though I and my husband ALWAYS clicked NO! We have our own program, and have never wanted a browser to save our passwords. I couldn’t believe it. But now, thanks to your clear information, I deleted them all at once, and they are gone. I have also selected the option to have them deleted each time the browser closes, so hopefully, this problem is finished.
