Hi,
sure. I use Lastpass extension and after Edge insider browsers reaches stable channel, I want to import those passwords into Microsoft Edge and don't rely on the LastPass extension anymore.
so LastPass has the option to export my passwords to a file. now all I need is an Import option to i can import my passwords to the Edge insider.
this option existed a couple of months ago in Edge insider but it's no longer available, even though there is an "import password" flag in latest Edge insider canary.

MicrosoftThanks!
This seems to be a Chromium change that we have inherited.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1026748&q=PasswordImport&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified
Anyway, I have taken this as an item in our backlog and we would be keeping a close watch on this.

- Merry 2020 to you as well 😉

This is great! - rishavsharanHmm....
I wouldn't call it interfering. The new Edge is built on top of Chromium so in essence, it inherits lots of its highs and lows as well. Right now, I would consider it as a bug that many Chromium based browsers ended up getting from the parent codebase. When it will be fixed, we will get the fix as well. Alternately, we will fix this from our side to ensure our users are not impacted.
Either way, now that this is in our backlogs, we will be looking into it.
Also, a merry 2020 to you! 🙂 - Yes but what that means? it means Google can control what features are in Microsoft Edge and what features get removed?
that's a HUGE issue right there.
honestly Microsoft, for their own sake, should fork Chromium and stop Google from interfering.
