Edge is sharing Chrome site logins. How do I prevent this?

Hello,

I have a site where I have two accounts. I used to be able to have one of them logged in with Edge and one with Chrome, then by running the right browser, I could be logged in with the right profile.

Now, Edge seems to have started copying the login across from Chrome, i.e. I can't separate them. Logging in on Chrome logs in with the same credentials on Edge which isn't what I want.

How do I turn this off so that each browser can log in with different credentials and stay logged in with those credentials? I've found lots of stuff about syncing my MS account across devices, but this is on one single device and two browsers that I want to be completely unrelated.

Thanks.

Microsoft Edge | Profile, sync, and sign in | Windows 10

    I mean lets say you are a Doctor and suddenly your browser on the clinic screen has bookmarks to adult content?

    I see the danger, but I'd point out that this is a classic use-case for separate browser profiles. It's really easy to keep Dr Jekyll's stuff quite separate from Mr Hyde's by giving each of them his own browser profile. Each profile has its own data store, with history, cookies, favourites, passwords and so on completely divorced from every other profile's. This is how I switch with one click between different email accounts at the same webmail site, for example.
