    All browsers suddenly stopped auto login


    Hi all. Over the last few days every single browser that I use has suddenly stopped auto login to all relevant sites. I usually only use Firefox but when this started I tried Chrome and Edge. The problem is the same on all of them so I don't believe this is a browser problem and must be something to do with a Win 10 setting. This is sites like Google, Amazon, Ebay, Facebook etc, everything that has normally been automatic. All browsers are aware of email address or user name and passwords. They show but I have to click on them to get them to work. I have cleaned all cookies and history without any improvement. Can anyone help here.
    Best regards.
    Denis.
    Current win version is Win 10 Home, v2004 (as of yesterday) but problem was a few days before the upgrade.

    Hi and Welcome!

    Have you recently installed any new software? Anything that might act as a Password Manager or mess with the browsers?

    No, not knowingly at least. Strange thing is I always use Firefox which I had on sync for my android devices to pick the password/user name up. They still work ok. My wifes laptop works fine too. I recently obtained her old unstable Win 8 laptop after I purchased her a new w10 machine. I installed a clean w10 on the old one and as yet have not touched it except to install the Firefox browser. Nothing else at all. It is working exactly the same as my main desktop machine with all passwords etc present but not auto signing in. Edge is present and again had all the details present so I assume it must somehow pick these up via Firefox sync?. Suffice to say it didn't work there either.
    I am tempted to delete Ffox from the laptop all together, clean everything including Edge then re-installing Ffox but with a new username, email address and password to see what happens. On my main machine I have turned sync off.
