Page 651 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

The reading list, one of the options in the Hub ( ), saves the names of
web pages that you want to read later.

Unlike the similar feature in rival browsers, this one doesn’t actually store

the web pages on your computer so you can read when you’re offline. You
still need an internet connection to reopen one.

In other words, Edge’s reading list feature does pretty much the same thing
as Favorites or Bookmarks. (In fact, Windows 10 even synchronizes your

reading list among your Windows 10 machines, just as it does Favorites. It’s
as though the web always keeps your place as you move from gadget to
gadget.)

To add a page to the reading list, hit , just as though you’re about to add

a Favorite. But in the panel that appears, select “Reading list.” Edit the
name, if you like, and then choose Add.

Later, to view your saved pages, open the Hub ( ); then choose the
“Reading list” ( ) tab. Select the story you want to reopen.

Memorized Passwords, Forms, and Credit Cards

Each time you type a password into a web page, Edge can offer to
memorize it for you. Or your address, phone number, or credit card

information—so you don’t have to keep typing those into shopping sites,
gaming sites, and so on. (Of course, use it with caution if you share an
account on your PC with other people.)

It’s easy to see all the passwords, forms data, and credit card info Edge has
saved for you—and to delete the ones you want it to forget (see Figure 9-
12).

This feature is a lot like the popular password/credit card keeper programs
like 1Password and Dashlane—but it’s free, and your passwords sync to
your other PCs.

To see the on/off switches for this feature, hit → → “Passwords &
autofill.” And here they are: “Save passwords,” “Save form data,” and
