How to Back Up and Restore Passwords in Microsoft Edge

When reinstalling or upgrading Windows, or for other reasons, you might want to back up your saved site IDs and passwords from Microsoft Edge's autofill feature. Here is a simple method to back them up into an Excel file.

This process saves your data as a .csv file in Excel format.

After reinstalling Windows, you can open Microsoft Edge and import the existing .csv file. This will restore all your site IDs and passwords in Edge, allowing you to log in automatically to sites as before, without manually entering your information. It's a convenient way to ensure you can continue using your saved credentials seamlessly.
