How to restore the Microsoft extension user data to another pc?

45 views Asked by At

I have my OKX ID and password, but did not save the seed phrase. I have the old back up with me from the directory: The source code is at C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions{{id}}!.

But this file seems cannot be moved from one pc to another. Is it possible to restore it back to another pc with some decode / in developer mode? Thanks.

I have tried to copy from the back up to another computer but copy and trying to paste it back in the same source folder, but it does not work.

If you mean restore the same extension on another machine, you can refer to the following methods:

Is the extension installed from online extension store? If so, you can login Edge profile with the same account on the two machines and make sure sync of extension is turned on. Then the installed extension will be synced to the other machine.

For the method you have tried, I think it also make sense. After you paste the folder, you need to open Developer mode in this page edge://extensions/ in Edge, then click Load unpacked to load the extension folder. Please note that when you choose the folder when load unpacked, you need to select to the level where manifest.json file exists. Then the extension will show up on the machine.

If you mean restore some kind of password information stored in the extension to another machine, it might be impossible. This kind of encrypted information cannot be copied and pasted directly between different machines due to security reasons.
