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

Anonymous

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.

Hi apppro,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

There are some variations of this error that are being reported in the community forum. One is browser wide and the other issue affects Windows wide apps, like Outlook and Onedrive.

First, go to the following page

edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose

Make sure the Hosted app data is not selected.

If it is as it is,

Right-click Start and choose Windows Powershell(admin).

Copy and paste the following:
```
Get-ScheduledTask | foreach { If (([xml](Export-ScheduledTask -TaskName $_.TaskName -TaskPath $_.TaskPath)).GetElementsByTagName("LogonType").'#text' -eq "S4U") { $_.TaskName } }
```
If you get an apps list, you need to disable them in the task scheduler and see if the issue is resolved.

Hope that helps.

IF... and with Windows and Feedback Hub - they know about it then I will just wait and hopefully they will fix it.

thanks a bunch for letting me its a Known Issue... NOW the only real question is how long do we have to wait for Windows to fix it.

thanks again

Yes, the team is aware of it. Feel free to disable the tasks you see - it would not pose any problem to the normal functioning of the PC.

Hi Janet,

Microsoft is already aware of the issue. The CM for Microsoft Edge has posted the following in other thread with a similar issue.

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

Hey, everyone! I'm the Community Manager for the Edge team. I wanted to hop in and let y'all know that the team is investigating what's going on here. In the meantime, we suggest that you head to edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose and ensure that Hosted app data is NOT selected, as a temporary workaround. This should ensure that you stay signed into your websites.

I'll reach out with an update once I hear from the team again. We appreciate your patience while we work on getting this resolved. :3

There is another issue in version 2004, which affects the system-wide password issue - if the above doesn't help, let us know so that we can proceed further.
