Unable to import passwords with hidden FRE

We have GPO (Computer Configuration) set to import everything from default browser on first run. We also have the FRE wizard & splash hidden.   Everything seems to import except saved passwords. 😞...

DamienSolodow Sorry for the delay! 

 

I'm following up internally again.  🙂 

 

Also, another option I wanted to mention is reaching out to MS Edge Support (https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us) they would be able to help investigate your specific case.  

 

But I will keep you updated when I get any updates.  Thanks!

DamienSolodow Quick update 🙂  We are going through internal testing and trying to reproduce. 

 

In the feedback you submitted, it says you are using Version 88.0.4324.182.  Are you still using the same or have you updated?  If you've updated, can you share the build number and if the issue is still reproducing or if there is any changes in the behavior?

 

Thanks for your help!

    Just messaged @himanshusJain with a procmon log. Hoping that helps reproduce or figure out what's going on.

    DamienSolodow Hi - I only received the user feedback which I don't think captures the policies.

     

    If you send a message to HimanshuJain you should be able to include the policies.json file as an attachment.

    HimanshuJain - the passwords are visible and usable in Chrome. Now, I did notice in Chrome that when I clicked the option to view the password, it prompted me for my Windows credentials. Once I gave it the password, it showed the password successfully.

    There are a number of policies set, but Import Passwords is set to enabled. I can send you the policies.json if you email me, or I think I already sent it to Kelly_Y

    Hi DamienSolodowm, We did an internal test and were unable to reproduce the error.

    Can you please help me with responses to couple of questions that may help us debug further

     

    1. Have you set any other policy apart from the AutoImportatFirstRun? More specifically, please check the the policy for Import passwords is not set to disabled.

    2. Can you confirm that passwords in question are visible in password manager page of chrome and are usable in chrome.

     

    -Thanks

    Just tried it on my test VM with Edge 89.0.774.57 (64-bit) Stable channel.
    Same behavior. 😞
