Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the value for "PasswordManagerEnabled" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Discussion

Enable Microsoft Edge to save user passwords. If this policy is enabled, users can save their passwords in Microsoft Edge. The next time the user visits the site, Microsoft Edge will enter the password automatically.
