Azure AD sign-in support in Edge for Linux
Hello,
I am looking to make the move away from Chrome to Edge. My company uses Linux; and I was thrilled to get to play around with the new Chromium-based Edge for Linux.
The single feature that is missing that will prevent me from making this switch is the ability to sign-in to Edge with my Azure AD work account. Currently, Edge for Linux only supports sign-ins with MS Personal accounts.
I have been following the "What's New" and "Top Feedback" sections of the Insider Community for the last couple weeks; and have likewise submitted this feedback directly through Edge a couple of times. I have not seen anything on the site (I could easily just be overlooking it?) regarding this and was curious if it is on the radar/roadmap; and if so; is there any best guess as to an ETA?
Thanks!

challamzinnia it seems that, recently, this has been broken. 😞
- Awesome!! hopefully it will be available on stable version soon
- Didn't expect this soo SOON , I am logged into AAD and Synchronized !
- Apologies if this is considered hijacking the thread (it was my thread haha) - but can you point me to where or how you set up sync across devices? I have Windows desktops, Android phones, and Linux desktops - and sync is working across everything except Linux. I can finally sign in through the Linux boxes, but no sync. The docs are pointing me to Intune and other various solutions; none of which I had to use for the other devices. Also, Intune doesn't seem to even offer Linux as a platform option for managed devices. Thanks!

As of the last two months, I can't even get Edge on Linux to run properly! Without a whole bunch of massaging, I can't even get it to stay running. if I reset the sync data on my windows PC and My Linux PC I can login into the domain and sync on windows, on Linux, it crashes after a few seconds and then every time I restart it! it's now useless!- Thanks for the heads up!
Your syncing answer may lie here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-enterprise-sync- Our AAD is already configured for syncing across windows and other devices. It's just the Linux systems.
- FINALLY! 🙌
- Still didnt work on stable version 97.0.1072.62-1

I need AAD so I can access my shortcuts saved on Windows !- Does anyone have an idea on how to get this on Microsoft's radar? I try an like comments and I've liked the original question. Are there other ways to raise this?
- I doubt that MS listens users at all 😒
- I tried again today, and still not supported. Surprised to be honest
networkthinking Yeah - as a developer myself I am struggling to come up with a scenario where this is blocked by some difficulty of implementation. It has to simply be a priority issue - and Microsoft simply has not given it priority...
Fingers crossed we see something soon.
- I too am interested. Edge works rather stable (unlike some other MS software...), so would love to be able to actually use it like I did on Windows.
- Edge for Linux is now available as a stable release, but logging into sync with a 'work' account (i.e. a microsoft 365 account) is still not working. Whenever I try to login with my work 365 account, I get:
We couldn't find an account with that email address or phone number. Would you like to sign up for a new Microsoft account? Sign up
It would be cool to be able to use stable Edge on Linux with all my work stuff synced as well.
