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.
I already HAVE a Google Account and use Google Chrome predominantly on just about any device. Google has all my browsing habits. I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.
I use all google services all over the place.
Now Microsoft brings out a competing product, which is suppoesed to be an alternative to Chrome.
There is no way i gonna use it, if i am not able to log in with my Google account and keep all my browsers in sync with google. Because i am not gonna switch all my 6 different accounts at once, nor do i stop using chrome on all devices i have at the same time.
If there is no way of bringing added passwords and bookmarks back to Google, so i can use both systems at the same time, im not going to switch to Edge whatsoever ...
Once the transition is done, i can turn that off, but hard cut is not going to work out for me.
I am actually realtively fine with edge, but as long as the transition is not smooth, its not gonna happen.
I appreciate your efforts to help me. Have a good day!
