Hi Andy, my name is Neil, I'm an independent adviser and a Windows 10 user like you.
I too have run into this issue where Edge fails to offer to generate a strong password.
However, I have discovered that the Edge team are implementing an On-Demand password generator (implemented by right-clicking in the password field box) and it is actually currently available and being tested on their Dev Channel and will be released to the public in the next beta release.
You can see what it will look like here: https://imgur.com/a/CtKQ5e8
And here is a Reddit thread where Edge Dev tells you about it (MSFTMissy Edge CM): https://www.reddit.com/r/edge/comments/l6bify/p...
So at least you know this feature is definitely coming very soon.
I hope this answers your question.
Kindest regards,
Neil

that's exactly what I'm looking for--glad they are on top of it! Thanks for the intel.

Short version: I need an extension for Edge that will suggest a secure password for new accounts.
I'm setting up a PC for an older relative who is dead-set on using Windows and Microsoft Edge, but wants shared password management with their iPhone. The iCloud Passwords extension for Edge is actually working pretty well for them, except that it does not automatically suggest secure passwords during setup of new accounts. As a result, they are reusing their same old weak passwords. The desktop iCloud Passwords app can suggest a secure password, but they get frustrated with clicking back and forth between the app and the browser. Is there any extension that JUST suggests a secure password when you right-click in a password field? Obviously, I'm looking for something trustworthy that is not going to intercept the new passwords and send them to nefarious users. Thanks!
I’m trying to replace an old website we have for generating service passwords. I tried utilizing excel scripts by converting the old password generator code to JavaScript but didn’t realize you would have to let users see the code to run the script.
Is there another way to use Power Automate to accomplish what I need to? I just need to be able to run some code without the user seeing the code.
