How to Enable or Disable Automatic Sign-in on Microsoft Edge in Windows 11. Microsoft Edge can automatically sign you into sites using your work or school account. While convenient, it may conflict with security policies in managed environments. In this video, we’ll show you how to configure this feature to enable or disable automatic sign-in in Microsoft Edge.

We’ll discuss three methods that allow users to configure sign-in settings. All methods require Microsoft Edge version 89 or later. Method 1: Using Microsoft Edge Settings. Adjusting Edge settings is the fastest and most straightforward method out of the three. First, open Microsoft Edge, then click Alt + F and choose Settings. Select Profiles, then navigate to Profile preferences. Find Automatically sign in to sites with your current work or school account and toggle the switch beside it. Enabling it allows for automatic sign-ins, while disabling it prevents them. Method 2: Configuration via Registry Editor. Configuring the Windows Registry allows administrators to apply changes across all user profiles on a machine. To start, press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open Registry Editor as an administrator. Navigate to: If the Edge key does not exist, create it by right-clicking Microsoft, selecting New, Key, and naming it “Edge.” Right-click the Edge key, hover over New, and select D Word (32-bit) Value to create two D Word values. Name them WebToBrowserSignInEnabled and SeamlessWebToBrowserSignInEnabled. Double-click each value and set it to 1 to enable automatic sign-in or 0 to disable it. Both D Word entries must have identical values for the configuration to work correctly. Close the Registry Editor and restart Microsoft Edge to apply changes. Method 3: Group Policy Editor Configuration. For managed environments, the Group Policy Editor provides an efficient way to centrally manage automatic sign-in settings for all domain-joined devices. However, this option is only available on Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions of Windows 11. First, open the Group Policy Editor as an admin. Next, click Computer Configuration, then go to Administrative Templates, and then Microsoft Edge. Find the policy named “Configure automatic sign in with an Active Directory domain account when there is no Azure AD domain account” and double-click it. Set the policy to: Enabled = Enable automatic sign-in, Disabled or Not Configured = Disable automatic sign-in. Click OK and close the editor. To enforce the policy, open Command Prompt and enter: gpupdate /force. Finally, restart Microsoft Edge to apply changes. Verification (Added for Accuracy). After configuring the setting, verify that the policy has applied correctly. Open Microsoft Edge and type edge://policy in the address bar to confirm the applied policies reflect your intended configuration.
