Edge Dev channel not syncing on macOS

Brass Contributor

I've got the latest Dev build (86.0.587.0) on macOS 10.15.6, and for some reason I can't get browser data syncing to work. I've tried to log out of my account and log back in, and it gives me this

I get this every time I try to log in. I've even reset browser settings and uninstalled Edge altogether (even removing browser data and reinstalling).

 

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Community Hub!

 

Thanks for reporting here. I would recommend you to send feedback about this bug through the in-app feedback tool in Microsoft Edge (Alt+Shift+I) with the diagnostics attached in order to help the Microsoft Edge dev team to resolve your issue as soon as possible.

@TheShaunSawI've sent feedback and I still have not heard back from anyone. I've just downloaded the Beta channel for macOS and I do not have any issues with syncing from my account on that channel. I don't know why I can't sync on the Dev channel.

Tagging @Deleted, our community manager to further look into this issue.

Good news: the team logged this as a bug and has been working on it. I just took another look, and it seems like it's been fixed! @techWiz118, please give it a try again and let me know if you're still getting that verification message.

@Deleted I just tried to sync with Dev build 86.0.594.1 and I am still encountering the same problem with syncing. 

@techWiz118 Good to know! I'm following up again with the devs, and will let you know if they have more info to share.
