Auto-login is causing websites to detect me as bot and request captcha verification

HotCakeX that is a global flag, I will loose autologin to other websites. I asked for a per-website disable option.

Then there is no such thing.
Also, the way Edge fills up the password fields and logs into websites is not the reason websites detect you as a bot. I've been using either Edge's auto login or password manager extensions' auto login on a wide range of websites, none of them cause this issue.
the reason websites detect you as a bot must have other reasons. some of them are: your IP address, VPN, browsing behavior etc.
if that website is doing that, it's Their problem.
systems such as Cloudflare are smart enough to tell the difference between a browser's auto-login and a bad bot.
yes there are good bots too, such as those from search engines (crawler bots).
Edge is not the only browser that auto logins to websites.

HotCakeX sure it is, as soon as I disable Automatic login the issue is solved. Every other browser including the previous Edge works just fine. The Crhomium-based Edge is the only one with autologin feature and it is the only one getting detected as bot.
Worthless to say that I don't use any vpn or anything like that. I never get detected as bot on browsers without auto-login feature. It also doesn't happen on websites for which auto-login isn't supported.
