    Hi, good day!

    Here are some of the things you can try.

    Please make sure Edge is saving passwords

    Open Edge.

    Click ⋯ (three dots) > Settings.

    Go to Profiles > Passwords.

    Turn on:

    Offer to save passwords

    Sign in automatically

    Stop Edge from deleting cookies when closed

    Go to Settings again, click Privacy, Search, and Services.

    Scroll down to Clear browsing data.

    Click Choose what to clear every time you close the browser.

    Make sure Cookies and other site data is OFF.

    Also turn off Passwords if it appears in the list.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below instead of Yes or No button.
