Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Use the browser's profile when signing into Microsoft sites.

This extension relies on "Connected to Windows" accounts and only works on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

This extension will skip that screen by using your Edge profile account by default.

The recommended way to use this is to use a separate profile in Edge for each AAD account you have and install this extension in each profile. Then go to the site you want in the profile you want and you won't be prompted to login.

If you want to choose a different account, you can disable the functionality by clicking on the toolbar icon.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Edge Add-on Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.
Pros
  • Eliminates the need for repeated sign-ins with the correct account, especially for administrators managing multiple Azure or Microsoft 365 accounts
  • Saves time and reduces frustration by automatically continuing past credential dialogues
  • Enhances productivity for users working with multiple Edge profiles or Azure AD tenants
Cons
  • Should be a built-in feature in Edge rather than requiring an add-on
  • Some users still experience account prompts, suggesting the add-on does not work for everyone
Most mentioned
  • Saves time and clicks by avoiding frequent account prompts
  • Essential for managing multiple accounts or tenants
  • Frustration over it not being a default Edge feature
User reviews
Absolute lifesaver if you administer Azure or Microsoft 365 and you constantly get signed in to the account that is connected to Windows, rather than your admin account (you are using a separate, cloud-authored admin account, right?), or if you work across multiple Azure AD tenants. Should be native functionality in Edge, but here we are. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

So useful when you get stuck in the account sign-in dance on a Microsoft site

This is exactly the add-on I've been looking for! I Ctrl+Click a lot of links to open new Tabs. I **hate** it when they all stop at the credential dialog screen. I don't know why Edge doesn't continue automatically, but I'm glad to know that someone has written an extension to fix it.
