MicrosoftSign in with a Google account - Discussion
Hey, everyone! Thanks so much for this discussion, we've learned a lot from your comments. We'd like to first make it clear that we do not plan to integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default. We are considering including an opt-in experience for users to attach their Google account to Microsoft Edge but are not ready to make a decision on it just yet.
I'd like to take this time to reiterate what Elliot posted back in November: One option available to you today to use a single user identifier across the various services you use is to create a new Microsoft Account using a @gmail address.
As you know, you can currently import your data from Chrome by going to edge://settings/importData. You can also sign into Google websites and remember your password in Microsoft Edge to reduce the number of times you need to sign in. Accessing your Microsoft Edge data on-the-go is easily done by signing into Microsoft Edge with a Microsoft account and syncing with Microsoft Edge across other devices and mobile.
As always, we will update here once we have more information. Please continue to provide your feedback and suggestions around this feature; the team will continue to review feedback even if we have moved something to Not Planned.

MissyQ "We are considering including an opt-in experience for users to attach their Google account to Microsoft Edge but are not ready to make a decision on it just yet."
I'm glad that Microsoft has made the decision not to integrate Google services by default. I think that integrating Google services by default would have been a poor choice given Microsoft's initial efforts to "unGoogle" Edge.
I have no problem with Microsoft allowing individual users to attach their Google account to Microsoft Edge using a toggle.
As indicated in an earlier comment, I also have no problem with allowing users who want to do so to toggle on other linkages to Google services because many consumers are tied into the Google ecosystem and want to be, but Microsoft has to implement those linkages in such a way so that the toggle feature works similarly to "Turn Windows features on or off" in the Control Panel -- the necessary linkage code would be added to Edge when and if and only if the toggle was turned "On" by the user in each case, but would not otherwise be included in Edge. Microsoft should not embed linkages to Google services in the default code.
- That's great news, thanks for the wise decision!
- Yay you're welcome ^^
- I have already synched my microsoft and Google accounts between my desktop computer and my mobile phone. Now I cannot sign in to the desktop at all. My password doesn't work and I don't have a PIN. How can I sign in to the desktop? Thank you!
did you add your Google account to Windows? if so then use Google account password or local password, depending on whatever you chose, for sign in.
- Yes...I tried all passwords and nothing is accepted. I tried to reset the password but I don't have a disk for the wizard.
Is there another way to get into my desktop? Thank you for helping me
...much appreciated!

Hello everyone, just to let you know that recently Google has announced it will stop all syncing on Chromimum browsers. : https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/01/chromium-sync-google-api-removed"
So taht means even if Micorsoft implents this, it won't work since Google removed it. So this discusion is basicaly over.
Thanks and havea greta day!
