Lockdown Browsers Autofill and Password Manager
Summary

Moreover, it can delete the saved passwords, but it will forcefully close the browsers. Microsoft Edge will also be closed if the task is used to disable the Edge Wallet.
Lockdown Browsers Password Manager
It's important to know that for browsers based on Chromium (like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave), turning off the Password Manager won't stop the Autofill (or Sign in Automatically) feature. If Autofill (or Sign in Automatically) is enabled and there are saved passwords, it will still automatically fill in credentials for websites. However, if the Password Manager is disabled, new passwords won't be saved, and the browser won't ask to store passwords. The saved passwords will still work.
For Firefox, turning off the Password Manager will also disable Autofill.
