Edit Password ability lost in latest (Jan 04,2023) update.

With the latest iteration of EDGE (update on Jan. 04, 2023) I have lost the ability to edit saved passwords.

When I click on the EDIT button, the screen goes blank, and EDGE program closes. Same happens when I click on the "eye" icon to SHOW PASSWORD, screen goes blank and EDGE closes.

 

I have searched for a solution online and apparently this happens when EDGE is tagged as "Managed by your organization". Down at the bottom of SETTINGS, on my screen, it shows "Managed by your organization", but I am an individual user, and have no organization. Before this latest update, I had no problem with editing passwords

 

The only solution I found online was to edit 10 lines in my registry, which I am not comfortable with doing.

 

Can you make a change in the next update to remove the "Managed by your organization" line for individual users, or at least add a way for individual users to turn off this functionality?

    Hello InstrumentTech,
    Are you using any browser extensions? I've seen certain ones cause the "Managed by your organization" message to appear, especially for password managers. I recommend disabling any you have installed and testing if that resolves the issue. Enter edge://extensions/ in the address bar to access the settings page.

      Hello Jeremiah, thank you for the reply.  The only extension installed is AdBlock Plus, and it has been 

      co-existing well with Edge since I first started using Edge shortly after the Chrome-based version came out. This problem just started after the last Edge update.

        My Issue occurred sometime in 2022.  where cannot edit or view passwords in edge,  i have followed all suggestions on community boards and other places even repaired the install,  it use to work but after some forced updates, not sure which ones it no longer works.  InstrumentTech
