Windows 10: My web credentials do not show any saved sights of passwords I have them and use them in edge.

I know you can look at your saved passwords in password manager but mine do not show any saved sights of passwords I have them and use them in edge. I could see them on my old computer using windows 10 but on both my new HP laptops nothing shows up. I do have saved password for sights and they work fine in edge I just cannot retrieve them in web credentials they show none saved? I am lost

:)

 

Saved Passwords and Credentials on Edge

Hello I have Windows 10 and am wondering when I save passwords are they saving to the same credential manager as Internet Explorer?

If I save a web password on Edge will it also come up in Explorer and vice versa if I save a password on IE will it come up in Edge or are they both independent of each other?

 

Microsoft Edge, Windows Web Credentials Manager - Exporting Passwords. Need Help Please - Thank you!

Do you really suggest that one should navigate to tons of websites and use their "Forgot password?" feature to be able to save the web credentials in the new environment????

There is one workaround where at least the export is fast:

• Export Web Credentials with a third-party tool, e.g. VaultPasswordView from
  www.nirsoft.net
• Navigate to the sites one by one.
• Login using the exported credential info.
• Save password when the browser asks.

If Windows Credentials can be exported and then imported through the UI then what kind of "security and privacy purpose" is it to forbid the same mechanism for Web Credentials?

Let's say ok, there are some "security and privacy purposes" against exporting passwords.

But what about importing or creating new Web Credentials?

Why is it also impossible?

How does IE/Edge stores the credentials in the Web Credentials?

What API do they call to save the credentials?
