Removal of “Passwords” from Clear Browsing Data. Microsoft Edge is simplifying the Clear browsing data experience edge://settings/privacy/clearBrowsingData by removing the Passwords from the list of data types that can be cleared. This update addresses feedback that users were unintentionally deleting their saved passwords when clearing their browsing history, leading to confusion and sign‑in issues. Users can continue to manage, edit, or delete passwords directly from edge://settings/autofill/passwords.

With this change, what is the best way to bulk remove passwords? There doesn't seem to be a button or way to do so with the removal of the above option.

In Microsoft Edge 146 and later, bulk deletion of saved passwords via Clear browsing data is no longer available. Passwords must now be managed from the password manager UI instead of being cleared as a browsing data type.

The supported way to remove passwords is:

Go to edge://settings/autofill/passwords (or Settings and more > Settings > Profiles > Passwords).
From the saved passwords list, delete entries from there.

For environments managed by policy, administrators can also use the DeletingUndecryptablePasswordsEnabled policy, but this only affects undecryptable passwords and is intended to restore password manager functionality, not as a general bulk-delete mechanism. Enabling it may cause permanent loss of any undecryptable passwords and cannot be overridden by users.

There is no replacement bulk “delete all passwords” control exposed in the Clear browsing data UI after this change.

Yes, thank you for that factually correct restatement of my prompt. However it does not answer my question of how I am supposed to bulk remove passwords now other than going in one by one and deleting them all manually.

One other thing to note - the documentation here - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/save-or-forget-passwords-in-microsoft-edge-b4beecb0-f2a8-1ca0-f26f-9ec247a3f336 still has the old way of doing it, and needs to be updated.
