A Norwegian cybersecurity researcher recently spotted that passwords in Microsoft Edge are saved in memory in cleartext. Thus exposing all passwords to anyone that might wish to peek behind the curtain, providing they can gain access to the PC through other means, including a shared admin.
The researcher, Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning, says, "Edge is the only Chromium‑based browser I’ve tested that behaves this way."
