Developing and testing features or extensions for Microsoft Edge
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Whenever I close the Edge browser, it signs me out of all my websites like Amazon and YouTube. I've tried so many different fixes from google searches and from this site and nothing as worked. It seems this probelm is very old. Is there meant to be a fix coming for this soon? Are otehr people still experincing this? I don't like using google but Chrome doesn't make me sign into everything every time I use it.
Any recent suggestions from 2025 that have worked?

Hi @MiFo ,
I completely understand how frustrating it is to have to sign back into all your websites like Amazon or YouTube every time you close Edge - it can really disrupt your workflow.
Here’s a step-by-step approach:
Step 1: Check “Clear on exit” and cookie settings
Step 2: Enable password and passkey autofill
Following these steps usually resolves the sign‑out problem. The main causes are often cookies or profile data being cleared, or saved credentials not properly autofilled, either due to settings, extensions, or profile issues.
Hope this helps! If my answer was useful, please follow the instructions here so others with the same problem can benefit as well.
