OneNote Web Clipper will not sign in

OneNote Web Clipper extension on Microsoft Edge stopped working after I cleared browser caches with CC Cleaner.

It worked for a long time, but now it completely stopped working. It asks me to sign in, so I get this:

After I click on Sign in with a Microsoft Account, a window appears but there is no sign in flow, it does nothing but shows me a page "Get OneNote Web Clipper".

I'm unable to sign in, it appears that the login flow is broken. I'm already signed in to my personal Microsoft account throughout my apps and in my browser. I can access the OneNote application and https://onenote.com/ site without issues.

Please help if there is another workaround to mitigate this issue. If there's no fix I can't use the Web Clipper extension anymore.

    WEB CAPTURE FOR MICROSOFT EDGE:

    This can serve as a sort of band-aid until they can get WEBCLIPPER up and running, I guess.

    Introducing web capture for Microsoft Edge  Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it too! But first, we wanted to make it better. While web notes was a great feature, there was also room for improvement. Many of you reported using it for capturing quick screenshots to copy or share, while others loved the ability to to mark-up full webpages with scrolling. So, we designed the new screenshot feature, web capture, with this in mind and are excited to introduce the basic screen capture functionality to our Dev and Canary builds. In the near future, you can expect to see more functionalities added to web capture, like adding ink or highlights to your captures, capturing full webpages, and scrolling while marking them.To try it out, use the Settings and more menu (...) in the top right corner of the browser and select Web capture.

    When you open web capture, you can use the selection tool to capture just the content you want. We found that sometimes you want more than what you’re able to see on the webpage, so we have added the ability for you to select content lower down on the page. To do this, just hold down the selection tool and drag to the bottom of the page; the page will automatically start to scroll so that you can capture everything you need in one go.Once you are done with the capture, you will see a menu with a couple of options: 'Copy' and 'Add notes'. Click Copy to add the image to your clipboard. It will then be available for you to paste into any application. If you want to mark up the screenshot with inking tools, select the Add notes option. You will see the image in a dialog box where you can draw on it, share, save and copy with your annotations.If you love web capture and want to access the tool more quickly, you can pin it directly to your browser toolbar.  Just right click on the option in the Settings and more menu (...) and select Show in toolbar. You can also use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+S) to invoke web capture.Try out the new tool and let us know what you think! We love hearing your feedback. From within Microsoft Edge, you can go to “…” menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback, or simply use the shortcut (Shift+Alt+I) to open the feedback tool.- The Microsoft Edge Product TeamSkip to primary navigation

    Thank you Stacia for the information about AI. It certainly raises important privacy issues, something these companies seem to not be too worried about. I imagine their legal departments will be litigating this for decades to come.

    Regarding the web clipper, as I mentioned above, mine stopped working again today until I removed it from Edge and then reinstalled it. Seems to be OK for now.

    Thanks, but no, this is no solution for me, at least. I not only "love" to copy, edit and paste. What I want is to keep the information properly clipped and organized in One Note to be retrieved whenever I want to. For that purpose there is already a clipping tool in Windows which can be used together with the clipboard to paste the capture into One Note. But it is not ideal. Also, I don't want to be forced to use MS Edge due to privacy concerns and the fact that MS tries so hard to force me into using it that I simply don't want to do so ever.

    Hi, it's still working okay for me, although I'm not brave enough to uninstall/reinstall, just in case I have the login problem again!
