Edge updated to version 134.0.3124.51. All saved passwords are gone. How can I retrieve them? Wallet shows no passwords saved. Sync us still on. Where did they all go?

    Hi @Shop PC,

    Edge Passwords are stored in a file called Login Data under your profile folder. If you are lucky enough, you can restore them. Here're some steps:

    1. Close your Edge browser and go to your profile folder. If you are not sure about it, you can check it in edge://version. Normally it should be C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\ProfileName, but in this step we need to return to its parent folder which is User Data.
    2. Under that folder you'll find a folder called Snapshots. Under Snapshots folder you'll see several sub-folders named with version number. You can go to folder with the most recent version number.
    3. Then, you should have a sub-folder named with your profile name (the same name as what you have in Profile path in edge://version), such as Profile 1.
    4. Open that folder and copy Login Data file. Then, paste it into your profile folder and replace the original one.

    After all these steps, you should have those restored passwords. If it fails, you can try other Login Data file in the Snapshots folder, but just make sure it matches your profile.
