    Hey Guys. I had the same problem and I used the following workaround.

    Download Edge on your Iphone or Android (In my case it worked on my Iphone) and log in to your account.

    Have Chrome installed also and your account logged in as well.

    Have Sync enabled (in Edge).

    In Edge for iOS you still have the option to import from csv so you can export the file directly from the chrome app to the edge app.

    Let it Sync and you will get your passwords to your Edge account.

    Hope it works for you as well.

    After latest Edge from Windows 11 22H2 failed to import passwords from a CSV file, I debugged what was happening and saw these fails:

    Operation: RegQueryValue
Result: NAME NOT FOUND
Path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Security\c69cb70a-3133-4cca-ab0e-046848effcda

    Then I switched off the anti-virus (BitDefender) and CSV password importing started working normal for me. Try that solution.

    Interesting . . . we'll give it a go and post-back.
