Microsoft Edge version 94 which is currently in beta testing has established support for the “A Well-Known URL for Changing Passwords” web standard. In simple terms, these web standards are designed to make it easier for users to instantly change the passwords they use when their browser finds them in a list of passwords that hackers have compromised or spread on the internet.
The standard will later direct users to a specially prepared page for site owners to change passwords for accounts that have been shared.
One site that can provide information about whether your email address or cellular number has been compromised and spread is Have I Been Pwned. In addition, a number of the latest browsers now also provide a feature that notifies users if their account has a data leak.
In practice so far, site owners usually warn users if their database system is compromised by hackers which results in leaking user data such as passwords. The manager usually asks the user to change their password afterwards.
However, many users often ignore these warnings, putting them at greater security risk. The new web standard allows site owners to set a link to change the password where the browser will direct the user to that link when visiting the site address.
There is one significant update in the latest update of Microsoft Edge Canary. Through the version 94 update, there is a new page menu called Accessibility.
As the name implies, this page offers accessibility settings to make it easier for users to use Edge. To access this Accessibility menu, you can open it via Settings > Accessibility or enter the address edge://settings/accessibility in the URL column.
There are several settings that can be done, such as page zoom, enable/disable warnings when closing multiple tabs, enable/disable mini menus when text blocks, and others.
It should be reminded again, this feature is only available since Edge version 94.0.979.0 or above. You can check for updates from the Edge Canary that you have or download through the official website.
