Password import edge not working

There have clearly been problems with the import of passwords from a CSV file and the function was removed from the stable version some weeks ago. However, it is working again in the current Canary release. If this function is important to you, it shouldn't be difficult to work around the problem with Stable. Make sure Stable is up to date (⋯ (Settings and more) > Settings > About Microsoft Edge), then:

1. Sign in to the Stable profile with a Microsoft Account and set up sync, at least for Passwords.
2. Download and run the Canary installer: Download Microsoft Edge Insider Channels
   Canary and Stable live happily side by side, independent of each other with no mutual interference*.
3. Launch Canary and sign in to the profile with the same Microsoft Account as at (1).
4. Import passwords from CSV.
5. Wait a bit for passwords to sync between the two profiles.

Once the process is complete, you can happily leave Canary there, or uninstall it from Apps and features.

* Any policies that may have been set up in Edge will apply in both Stable and Canary.

OK, so I managed to use a workaround. Edge does import from Chrome, so

1. go to passwords.google.com and import the passwords that are in the CSV file.
2. allow Chrome on the dekstop time to sync the passwords stored in the cloud
3. import from Chrome into Edge

There is one downside. Given that passwords are meant to be secure, one aspect of this security is to NOT replicate entries all over the place. In order to achieve the migration, I had to replicate the passwords into Google's password manager and the manager does not provide an easy single step "delete all" passwords (assuming you sync across multiple Chrome installations) after you have transferred.

Instead you have to do the following (taken from here):

1. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync and hit Clear Data
   1. This will disconnect syncing on all your devices temporarily and deletes passwords on the server side
2. Now you have to go device by device and bulk delete passwords
   1. On Chrome Desktop: Ctrl+Shift+Del --> Advanced --> Time Range: All time --> Select Passwords only --> Clear data
   2. On Chrome Mobile: Settings --> Privacy --> Clear Browsing Data --> Advanced --> Time range: All time --> Select Saved passwords only --> Clear data
3. After you bulk deleted passwords from the device, you can turn back on syncing: Settings --> Turn on sync on each device instance of Chrome (dekstops, mobile

Looks like I've found a solution.

In Edge, settings -> profiles -> Import browser data ->Import from other password managers -> Import passwords. Looks like there is an option for CSV import and it opens up a dialog box that allows for selecting your csv.

Goodluck.

I didn't have a need for this so couldn't verify.

Thankyou for your contribution. That solution was proposed by someone else in this thread and worked for some people but didn't for other. I didn't work for me: dialog opens, I can select a CSV file and open it, then Edge informs that passwords were imported but the reality is that they weren't

I am having the same issue also. I am trying to import a .csv password file and nothing happens. So far, I have 2 machines with this issue. Super strange. I made sure to check if edge is fully updated. When it gives you the option to choose a file, it lets you add the file you want, but nothing else happens after that.

Just updated my browser to: Version 105.0.1343.50 (Official build) (64-bit).

The drama continues, still the option to import passwords doesn't work. So, I reverted back to Keepass. However, I noted that dialog boxes - that worked once, and/or still work under Linux or macOS - don't work in Keepass in Windows. Don't have the proof, but it seems like more is broken in current build of Edge.

This is worrisome, I'm not into a browser-switch-contest. When I switch (or ditch) a browser, it's mostly for a while. Ditched Chrome for Edge, but thinking to either return or to move on. Edge in this current state (without proper support for passwords) isa no go.

Sad, really started to like Edge, but I'm not going to sit and wait or hope for the better. I have work to be done, that relies on PASSWORDS. And Edge fails in that respect. Microsoft is taking it's time which is - in case of core functionality that's broken of one of the primary software components unacceptable.

If this would've been 1 week perhaps even 3. Not good, but to be understood. But not nearly two months of drama ... Time to resolve FAST.
