Microsoft Edge Keeps Signing You Out of Websites? Here’s the Fix

Are you constantly being signed out of your favorite websites on Microsoft Edge? Whether it’s Gmail, Facebook, or your go-to productivity tools, having to log in again and again gets old fast. The good news: it’s usually fixable in just a few steps.

Let’s walk through what causes this issue—and how to fix it.

✅ Common Reasons Edge Signs You Out

1. Cookies Are Being Cleared Automatically
   • Edge relies on cookies to keep you signed in. If you’ve set it to clear cookies every time it closes, it wipes your session info.
2. Strict Tracking Prevention
   • Edge’s privacy settings might be blocking or deleting cookies from third-party services that help with sign-ins.
3. Corrupted Browser Profile
   • Sometimes your Edge profile itself is bugged or out of sync, causing login issues across sites.
4. Outdated Browser or Extensions
   • A glitchy extension or an old browser version can interfere with login sessions.

🔧 How to Fix It

1. Check Cookie Settings

• Go to: Settings > Privacy, search, and services
• Scroll down to Clear browsing data
• Click Choose what to clear every time you close the browser
• Make sure Cookies and other site data is off

2. Adjust Tracking Prevention

• Still under Privacy, search, and services
• Set Tracking prevention to Balanced (not Strict)
• Add trusted sites to the Exceptions list under “Always use cookies”

3. Allow Cookies for Specific Sites

• Go to: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data
• Click Allow and add the URLs of the sites you’re getting logged out of

4. Update or Reset Edge

• Go to: Settings > About Microsoft Edge to check for updates
• Still not working? Try resetting your profile:
  • Settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their default values

5. Test Without Extensions

• Some extensions mess with cookies. Try disabling them:
  • Settings > Extensions, then toggle them off
• Restart Edge and see if the problem stops

🧠 Pro Tip: Sync Your Microsoft Account

Make sure you’re signed into Edge with your Microsoft account and sync is turned on:

• Settings > Profiles > Sync
• This helps preserve sign-in info across devices (and backs up your settings)

Final Thoughts

Edge signing you out isn’t something you have to live with. Most of the time, it comes down to cookie settings, tracking prevention, or a misbehaving extension. A quick adjustment is often all it takes.
