Windows auth web sites Password Prompt

If I'm out of my work network and try to open the web site in Edge that uses windows auth I get the standard Windows Authorization authentication dialog.

If I open the same site in Chrome - it shows  it's own password prompt (not windows native). 

And it allows me to save login/password so I don't need to type it every time.

Is there any way I can save windows auth logins/password with edge?

 

Thanks!

    That's usually not a good idea to save LDAP credentials in the browser.

    If your user's password changes at some point, and the browser tries to use it several times, it can cause an account-lock.

      AlonS2405 I understand, but that's another problem that depends on your org settings.

      All other browsers do this...  Edge for some reason does not. I was thinking may be there's a hidden setting or something like that that will allow to shut off standard windows auth window and use edge password manager instead?
