For the last few years, Internet browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and many others have been adamant about saving and storing as much information as they can. Although this is super convenient and security is a top priority, it’s still a little unnerving knowing that sooner or later someone is going to figure out how to hack these systems to steal your data and payment information.
Seeing as you’re here you’re tired of constantly rejecting Microsoft Edge’s offers to save your payment details. So in this article, we will show you how to put a stop to Microsoft Edge asking to save your payment and credit card information over and over again.
How Do You Stop Microsoft Edge Asking to Save Credit Card Information?
Thankfully, unlike a lot of other settings on Windows 10 and 11, preventing Edge from saving credit card and payment information is relatively easy.
- To begin, open Microsoft Edge as you normally would.
- Once you have Edge open, click the three dots in the top right-hand corner, then click Settings from the list.
- Next, make sure that you have Profiles selected in the left-hand pane.
- Now in the central area click Payment info.
- This will take you to a new screen where you will need to make sure that the Save and Fill payment info toggle is Off (grey).
Note: If you have any credit card information saved already, you can remove it from the manage cards section just below all of these settings.
If you ever want to enable saving payment information again just go back to the same location and turn the toggle back on.
