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

Solution! Please follow these simple steps (I didn't find it anywhere just used the logic that browser uses when installing and importing data from other browsers).

1. Go to Edge Settings.
2. Go to Import Browser Data.
3. On Option Google Chrome, there is Edit Preferences. Go there and just Turn Off that feature OFF.

That's it.

Note - This is a handy feature to be able to sync with other browsers(especially Google Chrome). But, turning it ON by default and no any notification to the Edge users that Sync is ON is a bummer from Microsoft side.

I turned those off and it still does it. Edge still influences Chrome.

I’d log in on Chrome, run Edge and I’d be logged in there. I’d log in with a different account on Edge, and Chrome would mirror that change.

I can't offer any solution, I'm afraid. What you're describing is quite bizarre, and it sounds impossible. There is no way that the two browsers are sharing information; while they have a lot of common functionality through their Chromium connection, both the program files and the user data are kept quite separate.

Each Edge profile has its own settings, making it easy to use more than one profile to access the same website with different user accounts and credentials with no cross-pollination of data.

What is possible is that Windows is trying to be helpful by signing you in automatically where possible. You can control this behaviour at Windows settings ⚙ > Accounts > Email and accounts > Accounts used by other apps.

It might be possible to troubleshoot your situation if you gave the following information about Edge:

• Is the computer joined to a domain, e.g. at work or school?
• Do you have more than one account listed under Accounts used by other apps?
• Do you have more than one profile configured? (Click on the profile picture to see.)
• Do you sign in to the profile(s)?
  • If so, do you use a Microsoft Account or a 'Work or school account'?
• On which site are you seeing this behaviour?
  • Does this site allow for different types of sign-in, e.g. Sign in with Microsoft | Google | Facebook | Email?
  • Do you sign in at this site with a Microsoft Account or a 'Work or school account'?

Other users seeing the same behaviour are welcome to post their replies to these questions.

Hello,

So, it looks like your data was imported from Chrome to Edge, have you tried to remove the data manually while signed into only one Device, by going to the pages: edge://settings/passwords and edge://settings/personalinfo in Edge and removing the credentials?

Hello,

I wanted to see if you needed help still, or if the previous post was able to help get things settled?
