A security researcher has discovered that Microsoft Edge will load all your stored passwords into memory in plaintext at startup, making it easy for malware to scrape those passwords.
In practice, most people’s chrome will have the key available in one form or another all the time anyways because most people don’t need to unlock their stored passwords every time they use one.
Not saying this isn’t dumb by MS, but it doesn’t open up a new attack vector.

It doesn’t open up a new vector, but it makes an obvious one MUCH larger.
