A security researcher has discovered that Microsoft Edge will load all your stored passwords into memory in plaintext at startup, making it easy for malware to scrape those passwords.
This is LITERALLY isn’t secure; they should atleast make it encrypted. This is just the same as using your notes app as password manager! But it’s microsoft, and they’re willingly giving your bitlocker encryption key to the FBIs for your drives. So I’m not surprised…

I feel it may be worse than using your notes app.
A malicious attack doesn’t know which notes app, nor the filename.
This has every browser opening the exact same passwords.txt in root.
