Online shopping is undeniably convenient, but if you choose to save your personal or payment information on websites as you shop, it can leave you a bit vulnerable. Think of Microsoft Edge as your own personal security guard, following you around the web, helping block scammers and cybercriminals from reaching into your wallet. Learn how Edge can help keep your online accounts secure.

Password Monitor even kicks security up a notch. It notifies you when it detects that your credentials have been compromised, so you can update them and help keep your personal information safer.
