Windows Integrated Authentication - Dialog box prompt for credentials is the wrong one!
One of the reasons why I decided to move my company to the new Edge instead of Chrome is how Chrome handles WIA for non-domain computers.
The issue here is that in all versions prior to 80.0.331.0 when accessing our Intranet remotely, the prompt is like this:
But in 80.0.331.0, we get the "other" prompt style:
This one sucks because it does not work with password managers.
Good news Keith Davis, this is due to "Allow Windows Credentials for HTTP Authentication Challenges" and if you disable it in Edge settings, it will revert to the previous login dialog.
So go to: edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth, and set it to Disabled.
- 2 years later, still not fixed.
- You will need to use the very cumbersome way of setting it in the Group Policies, the do work. Although they are reset every time new Windows 10 (now 11) build install, so I have given up on this on my local machine.
Jussi Palo I've yet to ever see a setting in GP that addresses this, can you point me to it?
Deleted any updates on this? Inability to control this setting via GPO or registry is preventing a migration of ~5000 clients towards Edge from Chrome.
Has anyone seen anything further on the ability to control this setting? We are eager to deploy but not without controlling the login experience for some legacy apps we have. Is there a registry entry even that can force this behavior?
Nothing new here. I try to ping Avi Vaid and Deleted one more time and hope we get more lucky this time.
Fredrik_Freden Ryan Fielding Thanks for your patience and persistence on this. We're looking into this internally, and I will let you know if/when the Identity team has insights to share.

- Looks like we're back to square one, edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth is gone in 84.0.495.2. Has anyone figured out way to revert to the old credentials dialog? Has GPO support been released for this?
Well this sucks big time. Are there any Microsoft employees here that can provide som answers?

This is really a show stopper for us as well. People need to be able to copy&paste usernames/passwords from browser extension, but with this new credentials dialog you can no longer do that.

So go to: edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth, and set it to Disabled.You are awesome and that does work, but I wonder if we will be able to do that via GPO at some point.
80.0.339.0 and still have this stupid credentials prompt to deal with...is this permanent? Geez, I hope not.
