Sync ing Your Autofill Data
If you've enabled sync for your profile, your autofill data is synchronized across all devices where you're signed in with the same Microsoft account. Deleting autofill data on one device will remove it from all synced devices.
When sync is enabled, your autofill data is stored on encrypted Microsoft servers solely for synchronization purposes. For more detailed information, refer to the Microsoft Edge Privacy Whitepaper on Autofill.
