    I actually found a solution by importing all the favorites and passwords from Chrome! Under the "Import browser data now" in edge, import everything from Chrome. After that, all the passwords should pop up. I tested it on 2 machines. It seems that the passwords import feature is bugged in Edge, so I am not using it for the time being.

    Worked for me too. Trying to copy over non-synced favorites and passwords to a new computer. I actually installed Chome, imported the favorites and passwords files. Then "Import browser data" in Edge. Uninstalled Chrome and deleted the leftover profile directory. Worked like a champ.

    Thanks Microsoft!!! /s

    Most browsers are based on Chrome these days. This requires that the import from browser functionality can differentiate from Google Chrome and any other browser based on Chrome. Currently this is not the case, so this functionality, too is not effective.
