  1. Since yesterday, Edge and other Windows apps forget all logins/passwords they had recorded...


    As of yesterday, when I close Edge and reopen it, all logins/passwords to sites have disappeared and their list in the parameters of Edge is empty. I even uninstalled/reinstalled Edge, to no avail. I run Windows 10 Pro.


    I also noticed that the Windows Mail app which I don't use, but must be running in the background and Calendar, both Windows apps, started sending me notifications that the accounts it was accessing were obsolete I am translating from French. I reentered their passwords, it worked for a while, then again this message.


    I suspect it is a more general problem with Windows apps than just Edge - maybe the Credential Manager? - but have no idea how to address this.

    I had this problem some months ago -- after years of Windows 10 working without a hitch - and ended up calling and paying for Windows support. They tried, and had me reinstall Windows twice, to no avail. They ended up creating a new account on my PC the account I am using now, and it didn't have the problem. So I painfully migrated to this one. Now this one is affected.

    Any suggestions, please?

    :)

  2. Failed to login into dlink dnr-202l using microsoft edge

    Hi Kalpana,

    Thank you for your reply. I did what you suggested; but the same issue showed where failed to login with user ID and password; however, the same user ID and password work when using Internet Explorer.

    First steps:

    • Launch Microsoft Edge
    • Click more options (...)
    • Select "Settings"
    • Click button "Choose what to clear" under "Clear browsing data"
    • "Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data, Cached data and files" are selected.
    • Click "Clear" button
    • Open new tab by clicking "+" sign
    • Enter IP address to open device (DNR-202L) login screen
    • In the login dialog screen, enter the user ID and password and click "OK" button
    • Dialog login screen shows again. Do this step 3 times and get message
    Access Error: 401 -- Unauthorized

    Access Denied, Authorization enabled.

    Second steps:

    • Launch Microsoft Edge in private mode
    • Enter IP address to open device (DNR-202L) login screen
    • In the login dialog screen, enter the user ID and password and click "OK" button
    • Dialog login screen shows again. Do this step 3 times and get message
    Access Error: 401 -- Unauthorized

    Access Denied, Authorization enabled.

    Please let me know, if there is anything I can provide to solve this issue.

    Regards,

    Glasgow

  3. Edge is the most terrible for remember passwords

    Hi Don,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    It seems Microsoft Edge browser needs a repair on your computer. However we’d like to get more information,

    1. Have you made any changes on the computer?

    In the mean while I would suggest you to visit below links and follow the steps which would resolve the issue.

    1. What to do if Microsoft Edge isn't working
    2. Save or forget passwords in Microsoft Edge

    Disclaimer: The ‘Microsoft Edge Settings’ feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The ‘Reset Microsoft Edge Settings’
    feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Microsoft Edge Settings feature.

    Hope it helps

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
