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

Hi,
Export can be done through the Edge password manager: edge://settings/passwords
and import can be done using the Microsoft Autofill extension
More info and how to do it here

  HotCakeX Thanks but it really should be native and built in.

    It's native since it's made by Microsoft and installable on Edge, but I think it will eventually be made built in too, until then, this is a great way to import passwords. when I was reading the reviews, people were reporting successful imports.

    Of course it requires Microsoft account, that's the whole point, to save and sync passwords safely in Microsoft account, encrypted.
    local password database is subject to device theft, data loss and other incidents and isn't recommended.
