Introduction Why Manage Your Credit Card Information in Edge?

Microsoft Edge, like other web browsers, offers the convenience of saving credit card information for faster online transactions. However, managing these saved details is crucial for security and peace of mind. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to view, edit, and delete your saved credit card information within the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 10 and beyond.

While saving credit card information offers convenience, it's vital to regularly review and manage these details to ensure your data remains secure. This guide empowers you to take control of your saved information, allowing you to delete outdated cards or edit incorrect details.

Modern Deleting Credit Cards in the Current Version of Microsoft Edge

The process for managing credit cards in the modern version of Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium) is straightforward.

Step 1: Open Edge and type edge://settings/payments into the address bar and press Enter. This will directly take you to the Payment info page.

Step 2: On the Payment info page, you'll see a list of all credit cards saved in Edge. To delete a card, click the three dots (ellipsis) next to the card entry and select 'Delete'.

This action removes the card from your saved information, preventing it from being auto-filled during future online transactions.

Legacy Managing Credit Cards in the Version of Microsoft Edge

If you're using the legacy version of Edge, the process is slightly different.

Step 1: Open the Edge browser and click the 'Settings and More' icon (…), then select 'Settings'.

Step 2: In Settings, click 'Passwords & autofill'. Under the 'Autofill' section, you will see 'Manage forms' and 'Manage cards' buttons. Click 'Manage cards'.

Step 3: For security reasons, only the last four digits of the card, the cardholder's name, and the expiration date are displayed. Click on the card information to view full details and edit them. To delete a saved card, click the 'X' button that appears when you hover over the card entry.

Important Security Considerations and Best Practices

While Edge securely stores your credit card information, consider the security implications. It's advisable to regularly review your saved cards and delete any that are no longer needed or have expired. Also, be mindful of the security of your device; protect it with strong passwords and security software.

Consider disabling the option to save credit card information if you frequently use public or shared devices to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access.
