If users have access to the same device, users may create another profile on the same version of Microsoft Edge without the permission of the current profile owner.

However, users are able to easily switch between existing profiles in Microsoft Edge without the need for passwords. Profiles can also be useful if you wanted to share access to your Microsoft Edge browser with another user (ex: family member), or to keep your work and personal browsing separate. Your personal favorites and history, for example, are not synchronized with your work account if you set each up in different profiles. Data associated with one profile is separate from data associated with other profiles. Profiles in Microsoft Edge allow you to separate your browsing data into independent profiles. The Chromium based Microsoft Edge supports having multiple profiles. The new Chromium based Microsoft Edge is supported on all versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server (2016 and above), Windows Server (2008 R2 to 2012 R2), and macOS. This new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and performance. Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility.
