Password import edge not working

I have an other workaround, that works surprisingly well:

You export the passwords to a csv file in edge.

Then you install google chrome.

Go to chrome://flags -> enable import passwords

Import the passwords into chrome from the edge_passwords.csv (or whatever name u have given)

Then you open the new edge and go to settings -> import browser data

You want to select Import From Google Chrome - passwords only

and your passwords should be imported.

I've tried this on different devices already (we also have to move a few installations of old pcs to new pcs) and so far it worked.

This workaround is not new, it has been written many times in this thread and it works for some people but doesn't work for many other. It doesn't work for me.

Ironic how the company that wants you to use their browser instead of others still needs you to use one of them to import your passwords. How long has Edge been around now?

I hear ya. What kills me is that they are so like the government, where the motto is "it works? Let's find a way to break it!" They are also like retailers in general where if there is a feature that people really like and depend on, they take it away.

Listen up Microsoft, BRING IT BACK! You're hurting the very people who use your products! Until you do, I'll go elsewhere.

Chrome is also not syncing with Google and both not importing from CSVs!!! I'm guessing this a common code base problem!!!

Also, both Edge & Chrome didn't store my manually added password, so looks like the storage mechanism is messed up.

this work around helped me. Export passwords using edge and then import into chrome. Then go to edge and click on profile, dont click on passwords go below that to Import Brower Data. There I was able to transfer my passwords from chrome to edge.
