I see.
Some sites, like account.microsoft.com require Biometric authentication again, also called as 2FA.
Please tell which antivirus are you using for further help.
Why does Keep Me Signed In never work?

Every time I open a new tab I have to sign in again. Does this feature work at all?

Ensure cookie clearing is not checked.
None of the settings in that section are turned on. But I don't use Edge so that's not relevant.
All my browsers are set to NOT clear history or cookies on close. This problem even appears when I'm on a MS site and open a new tab for a MS site in the same browser. Why would I have to authenticate in that situation?

Where is that setting?

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
What browser are you using?
If Edge/Chrome,
Is clear data on close enabled?
Keep us posted.
