Every year, hundreds of millions of usernames and passwords are exposed online when websites or apps become the target of data breaches. Hackers use this stolen info to hijack accounts and engage in fraudulent transactions, identity theft, illegal fund transfers, or other illegal activities.

To help you protect your online accounts, Password Monitor informs you if any of your passwords have been compromised in a data breach. Changing your passwords immediately is the best way to prevent your accounts from being hijacked.
Note: Password Monitor is currently available only on Windows and macOS.
How Password Monitor works
When Password Monitor is on, Microsoft Edge automatically checks passwords you've saved in the browser against a database of known breached credentials. This database is updated periodically.
If any saved passwords match those in the database, they'll appear on the Password Monitor page. You can get to the page by typing edge://settings/passwords/PasswordMonitor in the Microsoft Edge address bar (Windows and macOS only). Any passwords that appear on this page are no longer safe to use and should be changed immediately.
