Import/Export password
Deleted Any update on this Password Import issue please?
I've been using Beta for months and months and as it doesn't integrate with Windows Credentials Manager, those stored there are massively out of date.
After installing the Stable release last night, rather than import from Beta, it has imported from Windows Credentials Manager which as I have said are out of date.

It's better that Edge doesn't use Credential Manager of Windows, but its own Import/Export system (and password management).
When the Import feature is finally available
I really think MS should leave the options in Flags, instead of deleting them when the option works well
It does not bother anyone- HotCakeXJan 16, 2020MVPAgreed, though removing a flag doesn't mean anything. flags are always temporary for experiments. so nothing to worry about. just keep an eye on this area
edge://settings/passwords
that's where import + export option was once available, but now only export option is available. - LBXComputersJan 16, 2020Brass Contributor
tistou With my cynical hat on, I suspect Microsoft want you to buy licenses to allow you to enable to Sync feature which would (hopefully) sync passwords between Stable, Beta, Dev etc without requiring an export/import.
- HotCakeXJan 16, 2020MVPYou only need license which is actually one of the Microsoft 365 subscriptions for businesses and enterprises, to have sync feature.
if you are using free Microsoft accounts (@hotmail.com @outlook.com @live.com) then you don't need any licenses. the feature is simply unavailable at the moment, just like lots of other things..
