Edge is a Chromium-based browser that looks more or less similar to Chrome. It has better privacy settings and also consumes fewer resources, making it an attractive alternative. If you’re planning to make the switch, here’s how you can import passwords from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge.
Import Passwords from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge
Google Chrome not only lets you save passwords but also syncs them across all your devices. This makes it highly convenient for people who often tend to forget their credentials. Similarly, Microsofts Edge gets the ability to save and sync passwords.
Now, if you’re switching from Chrome to Edge, you’d probably not want to save passwords all over again. Thankfully, it’s quite easy to import your passwords and the good thing is that the imported passwords, too, will be synced across all your devices.
