sync error: SYNC_AUTH_ERROR
sometimes edge://sync-internals/ shows errors like these, how to fix it: Auth Error Connection failed (-2). since 2021-12-14 11:44:06 +08 Server Connection server error since 2021-12-14 11:44:06...
Have the same issue in Edge 98.0.1108.43 (Official build) (64-bit). Just the state "Setting up sync" and in the log SYNC_AUTH_ERROR (HTTP 401).
- I was getting a 403 error. In my case, it was a corporate proxy blocking the client certificate request for the sync server. I was able to determine this by attempting to manually visit the Server URL listed on edge://sync-internals/ . Adding an exception in our proxy allowed me to reset my sync successfully.
- I was able to solve my issue. I deleted all files in the Sync Data folder of the Edge profile: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\<Edge Profile>\Sync Data
