Is this a security issue. Edge 'InPrivate' is remembering bank login.

If I right click Edge and select 'New InPrivate Window' I get to see the normal expected private browsing screen.

I now do a general search for my bank by typing the bank name into the search box and pressing enter. That brings up Bings suggestions... as expected. I click my bank and go to their login page and Edge has all my details already filled in as soon as I click on the appropriate boxes.

Surely this should not be happening. The InPrivate window should have no knowledge of what I do under the normal Edge browser.

Is this a browser issue or a W10 issue. If I search for TenForums using 'InPrivate' I am NOT logged (as expected and as it should be).

Any ideas.

Thanks for confirming. I figured it was wrong but though I would ask first as there are often twists and turns to things.

Where is best to report this do you think ? Via the Edge feedback option... actually I'll do that one anyway.

I use Chrome incognito mode for banking and don't have such problems.

I've been looking into this a bit more and apparently it is now normal for Edge InPrivate to prompt you (if that is the right word) and autofill in details such as this. It seems to be a one way thing, Edge can access your previously entered 'forms data' from normal mode and use that to complete the InPrivate view of the same pages but not (hopefully) the other way around.

That is tbh not how I understood InPrivate to be, but apparently it is.

Also (I'll just mention this as its semi relevant), another financial site (FE Trustnet) has weird issues with access after you change password details. I once commented on this here (have a read at post #5):

What's the current thinking/best practice for browser file cleanup.

Same thing happened again last week. The site requested a password change which I did. On the machine I did the change on I now have to use the new password. My other PC still allows full access using the old (until I clear the cookies and password data). Not good at all.

surely your biggest problem is having saved the logins and stuff under normal mode (or any mode for that matter!)? if you delete those, then surely it won't be autofilled?

i think incognito mode is just there to auto-delete stuff from that particular session?

either case. delete your banking info from your browser quickly.

yes, but all your autofills/pw remembered tracks from normal to incognito (and variants). nothing to do with cookies or temp files.

take firefox. open an incognito page and you can still see all your saved passwords in settings and use them to login. it's working as designed.

i would kinda suggest using a different browser or different browser profile for banking and stuff like that. i mean, that's kinda what those internet security suites do.
