    Edge won't autofill passwords after 1809 upgrade


    Has anybody noticed that usernames and passwords will no longer autofill in Edge after upgrading to V1809? This has happened to two of my systems. The credentials still exist be they're no being used by Edge. Tried recreating them, turning all the usual options off and on, rebooting, SFC Scannow but no luck. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the link bro67. An interesting read but nothing that would help me solve the password auto fill problem.

    Security would be the reason, since it cannot always be trusted to have those items cleared when the browser closes, along with a user having a secured keychain. When Microsoft releases the new Edge built on Chromium, you may see better security controls.

    I did notice when I tried to manually clear cookies, passwords, etc. in Edge I got a message saying that some of these items couldn’t be cleared. I assume that’s another symptom of the issue. In the meantime I’m going to Chrome, Edge has too many issues for me, I’ve reach my limit. Thanks for your help.
