I lost all my passwords on all my browsers

Hi Greg - 

I have the same issues as the other individual, but in my case, what occurs is, after the last Windows update which was mandatory for me earlier this week, all the saved passwords are gone, but when I re-enter them and click "remember password", when I shut down the pc for the night and turn it back on, ALL passwords are again gone.  In prior Windows updates this was never an issue, if I had to enter passwords and had the sites remember them, when the pc was shut then started again, the passwords were still there.  So whatever this last Windows Update did it changed that functionality and I have tried everything to bring it back.  I figure there must be some place to fix this. I use Chrome for my day to day and have Windows 10.  Thanks.

Except the passwords are synced with Google in Chrome, and it worked for years before the Windows 10 Update two updates ago.  So clearly some functionality changed since the synced passwords worked before, they are still synced now , but Google "pauses" the sync at random times.

Dee, if you use one of the more mature browsers then these almost always work correctly for passwords. Chrome and Firefox let you sign in to sync passwords, Favorites, history, etc. so that al you have to do is sign in on any device to load them all back just like they were.

Edge is not developed enough yet to be reliable for this. I would not depend on it but instead use FIrefox and Chrome which will not let you down or lose your data as long as you stay signed in. Another good thing is that it rarely signs you out once you sign in, you have to go and do it yourself. So you're not likely to lose anything.

This may be not what you were hoping to hear, but it is the truth. I help people by the thousands in forums and see more cases than just about anyone, so you can trust me that this is what works best right now.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

I am having the same problem , only sometimes it happens even when I don't set the computer to stand by

It's odd, sometimes I can shut the computer down and reboot, and Google Chrome is still synced, but that is rare.  There are other times when it "pauses" midday, sometimes twice during the day, and the PC has not been turned off.  The only reasonable solution I've found is to save non-financial, non-crucial passwords in Google when it asks me.  Then when I log in again to Chrome, when I have to log back in to all the others, the login info is there so I just have to press login and away I go.  But i won't save passwords for financial sites, crucial stuff, etc.,  I just have to grin and bear it.  Just got another forced Windows 10 Update, did nothing to fix this real problem.

I couldn't save on Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. I tried all three several weeks. When Microsoft upgraded to the newest update, it wiped out ALL of my passwords on every browser! Even though they all ask if I wanted to save passwords, I always replied "yes" but they didn't save. All my browsers are sent to remember passwords. 

Edge was always a problem for me. I usually changed it to use IE. 

I did follow the most recent suggestion under the apps and it did fix the problem. Although the wording there wasn't as described. 

Regards,

Dee
