Hi, dear user ; greetings and salutations, however.

Even if I'm taking into account your post about the inability to access Copilot in Guest mode, I understand your frustration regarding the mandatory login and the fact that Copilot cannot be accessed without an account.

Even though you indicated that this only affects InPrivate mode on Microsoft Edge for Android, please note that it affects all browsers (regardless of the device or browsing mode).

The three buttons do not allow you to bypass the mandatory login, and it is not possible to skip this window.

Please let me know if you have more questions.
