@rjtiwari10 and @LBXComputers

Our devs thought that your suggestion for CSV exportation was good and they would appreciate it if you can formally submit it for their tracking.

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

    rjtiwari10 I meant for importing and exporting, but you can limit your feedback to what would be the most helpful for you.

      Has there been any update on the ability for Edge to re-import the same export file it creates?

       

      This will allow passwords to move between channels if you are not using sync as well as between computers and possibly even other password managers.

       

      Thanks

        So the password Import flag was removed from Version 81.0.394.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

        and the feature is still unavailable in that version. not sure if it's a good or bad thing that the flag was removed 😕

      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.

        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.
