Suddenly I'm getting this very annoying Windows Security pop-up every time I start Edge, and usually when I open a new tab.

I haven't changed a thing on this computer - I try not to log onto Microsoft anything. What did they change to make this thing pop up all the time, and how do I make it stop??

This is extremely annoying!

I do not want to verify it's me; it's none of their business!

    I had this issue. It turned out to be a browser setting. "Use Windows Hello when filling passwords"

    Hi hpbgsd het,

    Please refer an article mentioned below for turning off pop ups in Microsoft Edge.

    Block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support

    On the other hand, go to Settings >> Privacy & Security >> App & Browser control >> Turn off Reputation based protection and click on dismiss followed by a machine restart.

    Please update with your findings!

    Sincerely,

    CK

    Windows components > Windows Security > Notifications. Open the Hide all notifications setting and set it to Enabled. Click OK.

    Hi @hpbgsd het,

    As far as I know, it should be caused by autofill password setting, try changing the setting to see if it works for you:

    Open Edge -> Navigate to edge://settings/passwords -> turn off Autofill passwords setting. Like this below:

    If this still not work, try to navigate to edge://settings/clearBrowserData and clear all data in Edge to check.

    Best regards,

    Xudong Peng
