3. Copy ADMX and ADML Files to System Folder:
- msedge.admx → copy to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions

4. Restart Group Policy Editor:
2. Registry Editor (Registry Hack for Advanced Users)
If you are using a Windows Home Edition that does not come with a Group Policy Editor, or you want to configure settings directly on the system without a policy graphical interface, then the approach through the Registry Editor (regedit) is an effective alternative.
However, it’s important to note that this method is intended for advanced users or IT administrators who understand the impact of changing the Windows registry. Errors in registry settings can have a serious impact on system stability.
Registry Configuration Steps:
- Press Windows + R, type regedit, and then press Enter.
- Navigate to the following locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft- If the Edge folder doesn’t already exist, right-click on the Microsoft folder, select New > Key, and then name it Edge.
- Right-click in the right pane in the Edge folder, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name:
PasswordExportEnabled- Double-click on the entry, and then change the Value data to: 0
- Click OK, then close the Registry Editor.
- Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
In an increasingly complex digital world, managing passwords securely is no longer an option, but an obligation. Password export features in browsers like Microsoft Edge make it easier for users. Still, they also open up loopholes for data leaks, especially on shared devices or work environments with limited access.
