How are passwords managed in Edge Vs MSAuthenticator on android to ensure both are fully synced?

Question

I've used android for many years. With my latest couple of handsets, and since it's become chromium-based, I exclusively used edge as a browser. I have also used authenticator for storing and generating passwords, payment details, etc.

I've noticed though, over the years, that sometimes the following over

• When offering to create a new password, it will sometimes offer this in edge and sometimes authenticator. It will then die the credentials in the respective location.

Same as above when retrieving passwords: it offered to populate from edge OR authenticator.

Both of these occur with no consistency and having changed no settings etc. Anyone know how to solve the following

How do I merge both locations?

Where duplicate site+username combos exist but passwords have been changed, call these out

Ensure authenticator is treated as gospel truth moving forward?
