Hi all,
On my Windows 10 device, I currently use Edge and Chrome to auto-login to whitelisted URLs (set in the registry) with the logged in user's email address and password.
I find however that when I set up a Windows Hello PIN, the auto-login does not work and prompts to enter either the PIN or an account email address and password?
Any ideas/tips on how I could go around this? Definitely keen to use the Windows Hello PIN to unlock the windows 10 laptop, but maybe skip it in Edge and Chrome so that the auto-login works and I do not get prompted to enter a set of credentials?
Thank you
Auto or automatic login might not work if Windows Hello PIN and Windows Hello Fingerprint or any one of these are enabled. Navigate to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options page and then remove these two sign-in options.
Thank you. I'll disable the Hello options for now.
Hi,
According to your description, the issue might be caused by failure of NTLM authentication. You can refer to Windows Hello CredUI for NTLM Authentication in Microsoft Edge identity support and configuration to check whether it fits your issue. If it fits, please follow steps in Enable Kerberos/NTLM Authentication in Web Browsers to troubleshoot.
I will try on my PC as well. Please let me know if there is any progress.

Hello,
thank you for your reply. In the browser policy settings, I have enabled NTLM as the authscheme for the allowlist of URLs. I had previously noticed that enabling all schemes was not doing an auto-logon for websites that returned both negotiate and ntlm in the headers. I'll take a look at the CredUI for NTLM as you have mentioned. Look forward to hearing what you find on your side.
Thank you.
Hi,
Sorry for couldn't provide a solution for you for so long because of my limited knowledge about browser auto-logon. I found some links might be helpful
I have asked my colleagues in another team which deals with browsers for help. Hope they can provide a solution. Sorry again for letting you wait.
No problem. Thank you for these links. I’ll take a look at them in the meantime.
Hi,
Are you willing to use an alternative? If you let browsers keep the passwords of the URLs, auto-login will still work after you set up Windows Hello PIN. This has been tested by my colleague.
Sorry again that I couldn't provide a solution for you.
Thank you for confirming. In that case, I might look at disabling Windows Hello on the device.
