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.

    I did this, it worked. Now some time afterwards this setting reset and the issue came back. I had to look for this answer again to remember what had to be done.

    Two concerns here: 1- by looking at the previous answers some people said "it seems impossible for this to happen". OMG I can't believe more people are not aware of this issue. This is really scary. And 2, changing the setting will work until Edge change it back to sync the profile!

    Just want to add that I'm observing the same so-called "bizarre and impossible" behavior. I log into gmail on Chrome and Edge will log in to that same account. This is after I've already cleared browsing data from Edge.

    Looks like this hasn't been fixed. Guess I'm not using edge anymore.

    It sounds bizarre, but it is real. It is happening to me too. I have a platform that I am building, but I also have a user account. Sometimes I need to be logged into two account, admin and user at the same time. Edge copies my Chrome credentials and logs me as an admin :-(
