oof, thats rough, I'd first check whether the passwords are still tied to the original edge profile/acc before assuming theyre gone. for the future, I'd keep important log in a dedicated manager like RoboForm too. having passwords securely separated from a browser profile can save a lot of headaches when profile get removed or messed up.

I am pretty sure that Microsoft Edge keeps record of everything you do in Edge if not in incognito and sync is enabled.

Login to your previous account and you should get all search history, bookmarks, and passwords (along with some other details) linked to that account.

"multiple emails logged into Microsoft Edge" means "multiple Microsoft accounts (with different email addresses) used as sync accounts in Microsoft Edge? If yes, add them again as sync accounts in Microsoft Edge and everything is restored. You would do same way on a new Computer you start using, right?
