Windows Security dialog in Microsoft Edge

I am using the latest version of Microsoft Edge (Version 81.0.416.68 (Official Build) (64-bit)). When I'm trying to login a specific site, not for all sites, it's popping up the "Windows Security" dialog followed "Sign in to access this site" asking username and password. Using Chrom I just get the 'Sign in' dialog asking username and password.

So my question is, why does Microsoft Edge have the "Windows Security" dialog, it is quite annoying even it does not prefill any saved username and password, like another dialog box?

How can I disable this, get a normal "Sign in" dialog with a prefill saved username and password or I need to do some settings for prefill saved username and password in the "Windows Security" dialog?

Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]

Create a new DWORD value named "WindowsHelloForHTTPAuthEnabled" with value 0

Or copy and paste this into a reg file and import into your registry

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"WindowsHelloForHTTPAuthEnabled"=dword:00000000

Original method: using Group Policies:

  1. Go to Microsoft Edge for Business site at Microsoft site
  2. Get policy files
    polity files
  3. Open the downloaded file MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.zip
  4. Open folder windows\admx from the zip
    admx files
  5. Copy these files into C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions
    admx files
  6. Open Group Policy Editor: run gpedit.msc
  7. Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > HTTP Authentication > Windows Hello for HTTP Auth Enabled
  8. Set it to disabled
    enter image description here
  9. Done! Edge will now show the basic Chromium login dialog
    chromium login dialog

You could choose Computer Configuration policy instead of User Configuration to apply this change to all users.

You could open Internet Options and check the User Authentication option:

  1. Type "Internet Options" in the search box next to the Start menu button.
  2. Open Internet Options and click on Security tab.
  3. If the site is in Internet zone, click on Internet and under Security level click on Custon level.
  4. Scroll down for User Authentication and check if you have checked Prompt for user name and password.
  5. Choose other options if you have checked Prompt for user name and password.
  6. Click OK, Apply then restart the browser to try again.
