hhmm, Is this supposed to sync all my passwords from my other devices, like the ones that are saved on this pc in edge? Or on edge that is on my phone that are all signed in with the same MS account? If so, it is not working. Keeps saying "sync in progress" but nothing is showing up on the password screen, except those I currently might use since allowing this app...

    Dennis5mile I have seen this same syncing in progress issue. If I close the Authenticator app completely from the android screen and then start it again, the passwords show up and are already synced.

        Carla__Bargeron5 I am a person who is using the Authenticator app ability to synchronize passwords. I do not have any passwords outside of my own that are synched to my Authenticator app.

    Dennis5mile Hi Dennis, thanks for sharing your feedback. Were you able to sync your passwords from Edge to Authenticator app? As you shared, yes, all passwords saved in Microsoft Edge under your Microsoft account should sync to Authenticator once you sign-in with the same Microsoft account on the "Passwords" tab in the Authenticator app. I'll also share this input with my team and we'll look for any potential issues.

      Passwords are Still not showing up.. I get sync in progress and they do not sync or I get sync has timed out. It is all the same MS account just none of them are being synced.. It does save PW's when I use them on the phone to log into an account, it ask to save it and it does get saved, but nothing is getting synced from any of my other devices...
