Hello There is an option to export passwordsBut there is no option to import them ?? Thanks

This will also be useful for importing passwords from password managers such as Lastpass, Kaspersky Password manager and so on

Deleted With the latest version of Canary (.370), I have that Thanks so much

Actually, we already have option of exporting passwords. We just want to have an option for import. So we can export and import from one device to other or between different channels as per our need.

rjtiwari10 Deleted Yes we can already export to CSV but there is no option to import this same CSV. The "Import Browser Data" only lets you pick from current installed browsers but not this specific passwords CSV file. We are not in a position to sync profiles etc and we want to be able to import passwords saved in Beta to other builds such as Dev and Canary etc.

tistou Yes import passwords should be there at-least until cross device syncing is not working properly. It will be a big relief in while operating multiple devices everyday. I have a CSV file generated by export passwords option on one device but I can't import that on other device. Then what's the use of export.

Also there should be an option for complete browser data exporting and importing for hassle free offline manual syncing in case when online gives problem. As a developer, it's very necessary for us to have data synced across devices.

    OK that's good. Just to confirm, you are talking about import passwords from CSV file, right?

  I am also looking for a way to import the CSV that you can export.
  
  Has there been any official word from Microsoft about why this feature was removing? I am using the Release Candidate (BETA) version.

    This option to import passwords is really missing

Previously there was a flag to enable both import and export but it's gone now

  Ok, so now, we can export them, but not import them?
  I do not understand the interest
  
  Thanks

    Yes,
    I think they expect us to use "Import browser data" feature instead.
    Not all browsers are supported this way though.
