In the modern world, people are concerned about convenience with every task. Since people make many purchases online, entering the credit card details every time checking out might be inconvenient to some users. To solve that problem, most modern web browsers offer users the ability to save credit card information so that the browser can automatically fill in credit card details when required to complete online transactions quickly.
Like other web browsers in the market, Edge prompts users to save card information on submission with credit card details. If one accepts the Edge’s prompt to save the card details, the browser securely saves the card details. However, do note that Edge never saves CVV information.
