If you are a Google Chrome user, you may already know that the web browser has a password manager. The password manager of Chrome not only saves your passwords and syncs them across devices; it can also generate super strong passwords for you.
A similar feature is also available on the Microsoft Edge browser for PC. With Microsoft Edge, you can generate strong passwords while signing up at your favorite sites, services, and app. The password you generate and save on your Edge browser will be synced to your Microsoft Account.
This means you just need to remember your Microsoft Account password, and the Edge browser will automatically sync all saved passwords, settings, and other browser data to your new login device.
