Starting this morning, Edge does not remember logins to any website

Starting this morning, every time I close Edge and reopen it, it doesn't remember any of my login so I have to login every time to every website.

I confirmed my setting is set to NOT clear cookies when I close my browser and it has always been this way.  I have never had this issue until this morning.

A features update was installed this morning and that's when this problem started.  Is there a bug with this update?  I'm running Windows 10 and Edge Version 86.0.622.38.  As you can imagine, it is quite annoying having to login to every time to every website.  

Update-There must be a bug because other people on Reddit are starting to report the same issue.

Hi folks, 

The original topic of this thread (Microsoft Edge not remembering logins) has been resolved. Make sure you've updated to the latest version of Edge to get the fix! I'm locking this thread as it is becoming difficult to moderate and troubleshoot individual issues, and this thread has turned in to a catch-all for all password issues. 

If you are still seeing issues with Edge not remembering passwords and all other programs are remembering your logins as expected, please start a new thread so we can help you individually. 

If you are seeing system-wide issues with passwords being saved:

• Check your Windows version to confirm if you are on Build 19041.173 or later

• If yes, reference this troubleshooting document Outlook and other apps won't remember password after Windows Updates - Outlook (microsoft.com) Note that this is a workaround until this Windows issue is patched.

-Alex

    YES 

    some of my trading platforms in Java and other NON Edge run applications but launched thru Edge are not remembered too.

    No issues with them when launched thru Chrome.

    This is affecting more than just edge, I have several programs that will not cache credentials since moving to 20H2 (for instance the Razer software that is auto installed from the Windows Store)

    that edge upgrades itself & then deletes all my userids & passwords - nice feature.

    why should i have to save this data externally from the app?

    if i have to, why would i then even want to save that data in the app?

    now, it's not even saving my userids & passwords, even though my edge settings are set to do so.

    useless piece of junk/spamware.
