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.
Managing profiles and sync in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Same here.. tried all the suggestions listed here and nothing.
Ultimately, ended up hitting the "reset to default" in settings and the issue went away.
I have similar experiences with Edge, on site logins, open Edge and find that I am logged on in Google with other account I neve used in Edge.
Then I find out that all passwords was synchronized from Chrome, manually deleted all accounts. After a day Find out that still Edge use Chrome information, site logins etc.
I check all settings in Edge, and find new settings that wasn't exist before this issue.
Import browser data on each launch
I did not agree or set settings during installation on import or seamless use of Chrome and Edge, I use it for different tasks.
It seams Microsoft is forcing users to use Edge in such not ordinary way.
Chrome and Edge are current release channel versions.
I have AOL mail (I know I know) because I have used it for so many years it just suits me.
I usually have two accounts at startup If I start edge it logs into business version of AOL mail automatically and on google chrome if I click the book mark (I have google as my homepage on that) it logs straight into the personal version. As I choose stay logged in on the AOL UI.
Yesterday I opened edge and it logged me into personal AOL? Uh? I logged out logged back in and saw to my business stuff. then went over to chrome and logged in and it was on the business account!!! Somehow Edge has pirated the data (or synced) from chrome? This means I now have to manually log into edge AOL and Chrome Aol every time. Now this for a start is time consuming. As to log out then log in the only reason I used edge at all was for this convenience. If I have to manually log into both each time I would just use Chrome and never use edge.
My solution is (until it is fixed) to use Opera for Business AOL (which works and does not do this) so it is clearly an edge problem) which is so counter productive. I though Microsoft wanted people to use edge? This is the exact opposite! I am on Windows 11 and all updated btw. And Microsoft has forced me to use a thirdparty browser?!!!

There is a new option: Import data from Chrome on every launch. Some users with Chrome installed have found that this is enabled by default, which may be the cause of the behaviour you're seeing. Open ⋯ (Settings and more) > Settings > Profiles > Import browser data to find the option and configure it to your liking.
[I don't have any other browsers installed, so I don't see this option and can't tell you precisely where to find it - sorry!]
Thank you for your reply. I have done this. Nevertheless I did not authorize this change and received no prompt. Its is a serious security issue. As I do not want data from one browser with personal facebook twitter... being imported without my consent to a business browser. It is not only unprofessional it now means I have to do housework. Before you responded I simply reset edge )and it seems to have fixed the start page issue) but I still have the bookmarks bar there and so on I do not want on edge. I mean lets say you are a Doctor and suddenly your browser on the clinic screen has bookmarks to adult content? Or a lawyer whos screen has Memes for cats? I do not think the Edge team have really thought about how serious this is (or could be legally!).
Microsoft when it installs windows and major updates takes you through the I dont want this that and the or the other yet completely ignores it when it updated edge last time. I personally think somebody somewhere dropped the ball here and made a mistake. As this is clearly a code mistake where it should not have done this. Now people gotta patch up the mess.
I hope the edge team read this or are passed these messages. I used to be a windows insider on 10. And this is exactly the thing that would be reported in Beta. But this is not Beta! In future do not do the syncing with other browsers by default or without consent. I know edge wants more browser maket share and hates it when people immediately install Chrome but this is in part why they do this! It is underhanded and dangerous to try and rob other browsers of their data even if it is on the same system! And as such put people off the edge browser rather than trust it.
