    I'm gonna try and uninstall the current version and reinstall an older one to see if that'll provide a temporary remedy. I'll let you all know what happens.

    Hi guys,

    I am having trouble with import my saved passwords from chrome to edge.

    I tried everything as well. At first I thought this was related to either my profile or my PC. So I tried to sideload the passwords on my mac, and then sync them to the profile, but this did not work either. The functionality must be completely shut down. I did however create a quick workaround that worked just fine.

    I installed Chrome, imported my password CSV into "Profile 1" NOT Gmail.com - you need to "ENABLE" the experimental feature "PASSWORD IMPORT" else you will not get the option to do so natively in Chrome (Only Export will show, until you enable "IMPORT." - If you dont know how to do this, a quick web search will help

    Once my passwords were imported into chrome, I was able to import the entire profile, or selected elements from "Profile 1" from Chrome, directly into Edge, as that functionality seems intact - and also seems to work on my PC - Unsure if this will work in MacOS

    Then I cleared all passwords and history from chrome and deleted it. It's a longer process, but gets to the same endpoint, and was much easier than typing in the 600 or so logins that I have saved since like 2007.

    I tried that too but didn't work for me... passwords are in Chrome and I tried to import profile 1 into Edge, Edge informs that profile has been imported, but passwords aren't imported...

    Maybe this is because of the new version that was released? It worked fine for me yesterday, I did the profile import NOT the CSV import, because the CSV Import is still broken either way. How did you import your passwords into chrome?
