The latest update to Edge Chromium, version 88, has finally been released. This release adds several new features to the Windows and macOS versions of the browser, such as new password security tools, an updated look, and several quality-of-life improvements. It’s a lot, so we’ll walk through what’s new in Edge 88 and show you how to use it.
Password generator and security monitor
Headlining Edge 88 update notes are two big password features. The first is the random password generator that automatically generates passwords whenever you create a new account or update an existing password. Edge saves and fills in the password automatically for you so that you don’t have to memorize it.
Another new password tool is Automated Data Breach Monitor. Edge indicates any login information saved with the most recent data breaches and will warn you if it believes any of your accounts have been compromised.
