Through Microsoft Edge – the personal shopping assistance you always wanted – you can more easily find what you’re looking for, compare prices [1], apply coupons [2] and end up with savings that could add up significantly. The browser’s latest features can also keep your information safer online and help you spend with confidence. https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/2/2021/11/WIN_Edge_Coupons-Autofill_3x2_en-US-1024x683.jpg If you use your smartphone to shop, good news: You can find many of these shopping features on the Microsoft Edge mobile app for iOS and Android, such as built-in coupons, price comparisons and price history [3]. Also recently announced: a new shopping experience on Microsoft Bing that can help you choose planet friendly and ethically sourced products [4]. Online safety remains a top priority. Already, you can secure password information with features like the password health dashboard and Password Monitor. With these tools, you can keep an eye on any potential leaked credentials and make sure that the passwords you’re setting are strong. (One helpful tip: Try not to use the same password on multiple sites.) A recent update makes it easier to update your passwords with just one click if any of your saved credentials become compromised. Simply navigate to the Settings/Passwords page within Microsoft Edge and click on Change right next to the credentials you’d like to update. You’ll go directly to the change password page of the account in question. If you’ve run out of ideas for a good one, Microsoft Edge can generate a new, strong password for you and monitor it on your behalf. Happy holiday shopping with Windows 11. Stay tuned for more tips!
