Before we dive into the process, it's essential to note that any saved logins in Edge will not be removed and may continue to appear even with autofill disabled. To ensure a seamless transition, make sure to import any saved logins into Dashlane and delete them from Edge.

To disable the Edge native password manager using GPOs, follow these steps:

1. Ensure 'Offer to save passwords' is turned off and managed by your organization.

2. Open Edge and click on the three dots for settings. This will prompt a logout to complete the new settings.

3. On the user's computer, open a command prompt and run `gpupdate /force`. Once complete, the GPO settings will be updated.

Optional steps:

1. Enable the policy Disable synchronization of data using Microsoft sync services to prevent any unnecessary data syncing.

2. Under 'Password manager and protection', disable the policy Enable saving passwords to the password manager to prevent Edge from storing new passwords.

3. Disable the policies Enable AutoFill for credit cards and Enable AutoFill for addresses to prevent Edge from autofilling sensitive information.

To create a new GPO for Edge, follow these steps:

1. Log in to a Windows server and open Group Policy Editor.

2. Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) by right-clicking on the 'Group Policy Objects' container and selecting 'New'.

3. Name your GPO something like 'Disable PWM' and click 'OK'.

Once you've created the GPO, you can link it to the appropriate OU or security group.

By following these steps, you'll be able to disable the Edge native password manager using GPOs, ensuring a more streamlined online experience with Dashlane as your primary password manager.
