Action Required: Password Visibility in Microsoft Edge

A recent issue with Microsoft Edge led to some users' passwords being visible on screen when logging into University systems.

Microsoft has now resolved the issue, and passwords should no longer be visible while logging in.

However, passwords may still be visible in your settings, specifically in the 'Personal info' section, where they may be vulnerable.

To ensure system security, all staff and students are asked to check their Microsoft Edge settings to confirm that passwords are not showing.

Usually password details are starred out as you type to avoid any potential security issues.

Author's summary: Check Microsoft Edge settings for password visibility.
