Windows Integrated Authentication - Dialog box prompt for credentials is the wrong one!

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.

Nothing new here. I try to ping Avi Vaid and Deleted one more time and hope we get more lucky this time.

    That is great! The only problem with flags is that (as far as i know) it's not possible to control in any other way then configure them on the local computer. I Would love to see a GPO for this.
