edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth gone
Hi,
how to Enable edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth type of behavior as that flag seems to be gone in 84.0.495.2 (or some other relative recent build)?
Earlier discussion of why it is needed and used here and here.
- GuriyCopper ContributorGPO policy helped (Windows Hello For HTTP Auth Enabled set to Disabled). But it seems too big a hassle.
- Keith DavisSteel Contributor
Guriy How did it "help"? Seems to have done nothing for us?

Now I've got a standard browse login form and it remembers the password. So, I don't have to input my credentials all the time
- Jussi PaloIron ContributorLooks like 92.0.873.1 again reverts to the wrong authentication dialog.
- Fredrik_FredenBrass Contributor
I just downloaded 92.0.878.0 and I have no issues
Have you configured WindowsHelloForHTTPAuthEnabled?
- Jussi PaloIron ContributorThanks, via GPO policies it works, but quite a lot of effort for a simple configuration. Followed these instructions: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-manage-the-new-microsoft-edge-through-group-policy/

Jussi Palo Great news: after reviewing your feedback, the team realized how important it was for some of our users, and has decided to re-enable this flag! They've created a work item for this, so you should see the flag back in the preview channels in the near future.
Hope that helps, and please let us know if you have any other feedback.

Jussi Palo Thanks for reaching out. As I'm sure you know, the flags are all experimental, and can unfortunately come and go while they are in testing. However, I hear that there's a need for this functionality, so I've looped the team in. I'll let you know if they have any insights to share!
