Online and Other Forms of Identification

Hello,

 

I have recently made the switch to Windows 11 Pro and everything is running smoothly, except for a particular issue with website credentials. Even after selecting 'save this device,' it doesn't seem to make any difference.

 

Every time I access platforms like YouTube, Google, Netflix, and Amazon, I have to go through the same Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) process, even though I have saved my login information. For any website where I have an account, my credentials are not being saved. It's especially frustrating with Netflix, as I receive emails every time a new device is used, despite using the service daily.

 

Could you please help me identify the cause of this issue and suggest how I can resolve it?

 

Thank you,

Nacho

    Username and Password:

    Traditional method for account access. Users create a unique username and a password to secure their accounts.

    Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

    An additional security layer that requires not only a password but also a second form of authentication, usually a code sent to a mobile device or generated by an authentication app.
