Unable to show or export passwords
I am on Edge Version 90.0.818.46. Using the show password or export passwords buttons brings up the Windows Security popup on which I can enter my password/pin. Whether I enter my pin or password...

Apr 23, 2021Hi For me it works, but I would never export the password? Disconnection probably results from an improperly configured connection to the security server - if you have Edge synchronised with your Microsoft account and you use - not a local account, only the Windows Hello application may not work - it is worth analysing whether you use a VPN?
- michinamibiaApr 23, 2021Copper ContributorI only wanted to export the passwords because I wasnt able to show them. I do sometimes use a vpn and always have, but it's generally disconnected.
Yes, Windows Hello PIN is configured and windows is linked by my microsoft account. The pin is what I use to unlock my pc and also always used to show the password on edge.
I just remembered some (maybe) related information. I have recently upgraded the hardware on this machine and had to re-activate windows using the "replaced hardware" option. Since then I have been unable to use the show password feature. (Might be a coincidence though)- DeletedApr 23, 2021Have you tried creating a new Edge profile with the same account on the default settings?

Edge doesnt allow signing in with the same profile twice. But this even happens when there is no account linked whatsoever and I use the default empty profile.
