Edge keeps signing me out

Since a week or two, Microsoft Edge signs me out of my MS account. The top left account menu shows orange lettering, and when I click it, it reports that it can't sync because it needs to confirm...

florismkleijne HP Elitebook laptop, Windows 11 (language Norwegian), changed from 365 work account to personal 365 account earlier this year. Login to Windows with personal account. Had this problem with Microsoft Edge signing me out all the time.

Possible solution: Opened Settings, Accounts, Login options, deleted all Hello options (face recognition, finger print and PIN). Recreated these Hello options. I guess there was a connection to my earlier work account in these settings. After restart of laptop there is no problem with Edge signing me out (so far so good day at one). Will report back later this week.

Is there something like master switch button, that will log you out off all apps and all devices a makes you do 2FA again?
I'm willing to do that...

i have set up 2 step verification for even for facebook and netflix, after getting hacked,, now with this new feature it cant be hacked as you have to enter code sent via text on top of the password. also the issue in the tread is windows 10 related i think,, move on a get windows 11 , 10 is dead they dont fix things on 10 anymore. but like i said,, setting this up seemed to help like some bot was doing it, now they cant log into me without my phone.

OP here, computerdave911. The issue started for me in Windows 11. (Though I do agree that moving away from 10 is a good idea in general, and 2FA a no-brainer for any account.)

Also, I can't restate often enough: an in-place reinstall of Windows 11 fixed the issue for me, and came at no cost or inconvenience, except some time.

    basically a fast repair with keeping all your data, didnt help in my case, as well as a complete install from scratch.. or I should say it helped for like 2 days and then the issue came back, first time only in edge, after reinstall it happened in edge, onenote and office package, reinstalled again and now it only happens in edge for some reason and didnt come back in onenote or office yet
