Hello, I accidentally deleted all my saved passwords when clearing my phone history and I first tried to sync my phone but it was already synced then I checked another device and at first the passwords were there but then it reloaded and they were all gone too. Is there any way to restore them? I don't wanna reset all my passwords if possible.

Microsoft Edge | Profile, sync, and sign in | iOS

    Hi Sonija,

    I understand that you would like to restore the deleted password, however, as per checking, once the saved password has been deleted, it cannot be recovered.

    But if in case you still have a device where your account used to sign in and password was still there, you have the option to export the password from there but before doing so, ensure not connected to internet so it will not sync the changes. Otherwise, if no other devices left, I am afraid that password is no longer recoverable.

    Deleted passwords in Microsoft Edge cannot be restored once they have been cleared, especially if sync was enabled and the deletion has already propagated to other devices.

    Clearing passwords via Edge’s Clear browsing data (or equivalent action on mobile) permanently removes them from the local device. When signed into Edge with sync turned on, those deletions are synced to the Microsoft account, so other devices will also lose the passwords after they sync. The documentation does not describe any built-in recovery or rollback mechanism for cleared passwords.

    Going forward, to manage passwords safely:

    1. Use Edge’s built‑in password manager and keep Offer to save passwords turned on so new passwords are saved as used.
    2. Turn on Sync so passwords are backed up across devices.
    3. Avoid selecting Passwords when using Clear browsing data if the saved passwords should be preserved.
    4. Optionally, export passwords periodically to a CSV file from Edge on a supported device and store it securely as a backup, or import them into another password manager if desired.

    Unfortunately, for the passwords already deleted and synced, they must be reset on each site or service manually.
