Description
We use multiple WebView2 in our WPF application.
First we show one WPF-window with a weblogin in a WebView2.
Then we open the main WPF-window which uses WebView2 to show user intructions and other html content.
Since all these WebView2s have the same UserDataFolder they share auth-cookie.
Our problem occurs when multiple users starts our application on the same computer. Since all instances of our application have the same UserDataFolder for their WebView2s the auth-cookie is also shared.
We have solved this by setting ExclusiveUserDataFolderAccess=true and a retry-loop which creates a new UserDataFolder for each instance of our application.
But then the next problem occurs. Since each instances of our application gets its own UserDataFolder saved passwords is no longer share.
To solve this final problem we would like to be able to export saved passwords from one UserDataFolder and import them in all the other UserDataFolders.
An alternative solution would be to add the abillity to share saved passwords between all Profiles within an UserDataFolder. Then we could create a new Profile for each instance of our application instead of creating new UserDataFolders.
