Hi,

Edge has suddenly stopped auto filling the username and password although its in passwords list and I have been using it often. The autofill option is still enabled.

    Thanks, Divya. I can understand. Let us reinstall Windows as next step.

    Please try a repair install as the next step. It keeps everything, including apps and files, and reinstalls Windows.

    I tried that already. Did again now. Still the same. I noticed its only for some URLs. Especially those I use often.

    I’ve had this issue before too, and sometimes it just doesn't make sense. You could try using a third-party password manager. They can save and even generate secure, complex passwords automatically, so you don’t have to worry about remembering them.

    Maybe someone else will have a fix!
