Edge stores your passwords in system memory in the same format as a plain text file created in Notepad, making it easy for software to dump & save the contents. Microsoft doesn't consider this a vulnerability worth fixing, because to actually grab those passwords someone would already have to have access to your PC/laptop, e.g., you'd already have to be infected with some sort of malware (!). Of course there are different degrees of compromise -- malware with easier to gain user privileges can't steal as much or create as much havoc as malware running as admin., so you want to make it harder to do bad stuff &/or harder to escalate to admin. privilege level. But apparently Microsoft takes the stance that any access means Game Over, you're on your own. And if that's their official stance, I guess it makes perfect sense to disable their driver blocklist, as installing a driver is rarely if ever the 1st step in an exploit. So why bother making sure that list is accurate?
