Cannot log into my home router
HotCakeX Yes, that's where my passwords are stored? I tried deleting the stored password for the router but it didn't help.
so what happens when you try to delete saved passwords in Edge?

HotCakeX The password is correct as I have successfully logged in many times prior to the last 2 builds with nothing changing other than updating the build. As I mentioned in my previous reply to you, I did delete the saved password. The login prompt pops up for a split second, and I immediately get the 401/unauthorized page. There is another reply from someone else who is also having this issue who supplied an animated GIF of what is actually happening. Further, logging in also works on any other browser. I have even tried deleting all cookies for that address. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest build. Nothing works.
It did work for a short period of time after I performed a factory reset of the router, but again, with nothing changing, the problem returned.

DieHardBattery, exactly.
The GIF I have supplied is really clear on what's going on. This has nothing to do with the password saved, as the 401/unauthorized page shows up as soon as the credential pop-up window appear and immediately close itself without any user intervention, leading to this 401/unauthorized error. As I have tested, this is only happening on Edge Dev. Chrome/Firefox/Edge_Spartan and other browsers works without any issues.
This is a bug that appeared since the latest two builds. We need someone from the developer team to see this issue and let us know what kind of logs, dumps or whatever they need to further analyze this bug.

Same issue here and it only started recently (last week or so). Is there a new setting in the update that is causing this?
