The Edge password manager appears secure: encrypted storage, secured by Windows Hello. But plaintext is stored in memory.

      Not if you disable JavaScript. I was able to read the article with Privacy Browser on Android with JS disabled by default. Readeck was also able to and save the whole article on my server.
