Password Manager: Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge as password manager

In today's digital world, passwords are central to the security of corporate data and accounts. Managing and securing these passwords are paramount to protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access. Microsoft Edge, the web browser from Microsoft, not only provides a high-performance browsing experience, but also acts as a password manager that can increase security and efficiency in your business.

Advantages of using Microsoft Edge as a password manager:

Integrated solution: Microsoft Edge offers seamless integration with your Microsoft 365 account and other Microsoft services. This makes it easier to manage passwords in a familiar environment.
Secure storage: Passwords are stored encrypted in your Microsoft account, which increases the security of your credentials. This encryption protects against potential cyber threats and data theft.
Automatically filling in forms: Microsoft Edge can not only securely store passwords, but also automatically fill them in web forms. This saves your employees time and reduces possible errors when entering passwords.
Multiplatform support: Microsoft Edge is available on various platforms, including Windows, iOS, and Android. This gives your employees the ability to use their passwords securely and conveniently across different devices.

Signing into Microsoft Edge with your @vollers.com account offers many benefits, including seamless synchronisation of bookmarks, passwords, and other browser settings across different devices. This gives you access to your personal data at any time and allows you to do your work more efficiently.
