A keychain cannot be found to store "Microsoft Edge"
Deleted thanks. I hadn't used Edge for a couple of days but when I went to check it had been updated to yesterday's build, and apparently that resolved the problem I had seen with the previous two builds. So I guess I'm good for now.

Deleted I faced it issue right today. On my Macbook Pro. Edge updated via the Microsoft Updater, and then when it re-opened, I get this error message - "A keychain cannot be found to store 'Microsoft Edge'". A new keychain had to be created and now all my previous passwords are lost !!!!
Please help restore !!!

bodhidasgupta Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that! If you haven't yet, can you please try uninstalling and reinstalling MSFT Edge? And can you please confirm what channel and version you're currently using?

DeletedI just got this message a few minutes ago when I opened Edge. When I select Preferences it only shows me the ability to recreate a new keychain. Is there any way to restore the old one? I am losing a lot of data.
I did get a lot of extension crashes the first open, I exited Edge and saw an Edge update install. When I opened Edge again, then I got the keychain error.
