Description

Allows users to import saved passwords from another browser into Microsoft Edge.

If you enable this policy, the option to manually import saved passwords is automatically selected.

If you disable this policy, saved passwords aren't imported on first run, and users can't import them manually.

If you don't configure this policy, no passwords are imported at first run, and users can choose whether to import them manually during later browsing sessions.

You can set this policy as a recommendation. This means that Microsoft Edge imports passwords on first run, but users can select or clear the **passwords** option during manual import.

Note: This policy currently manages import from Internet Explorer (on Windows 7, 8, and 10), Google Chrome (on Windows 7, 8, and 10 and on macOS), and Mozilla Firefox (on Windows 7, 8, and 10 and on macOS) browsers.
