Microsoft is focusing on productivity with Edge’s new feature
After a bunch of changes in the recent weeks, and the release of Edge Beta, now the company has released another heavily requested feature, sign-in and sync with work or school accounts. Azure Active Directory work and school accounts support this feature on the latest Dev, Canary, and Beta channel builds of Microsoft Edge. Here’s how Microsoft describes the two major benefits with the new sign-in and sync feature: For now your preferences, passwords, favourites, and form-fill data will sync across devices and accounts, but the tech giant has plans to expand the feature to browsing history, extensions, and open tabs:
How does Sign-in and sync actually works in Edge?
To take advantage of the new implementation, you just have to sign in with an organizational account in Microsoft Edge, and then turn on Sync. After that, every time you access websites and services that support Web Single Sign-On, you’ll be automatically authenticated with your credentials. For example, if you are signed in to Edge with your work or school account and access Office.com, you’ll be automatically signed in, without the need of a username or password. Obviously, this works with all web properties that recognise your organizational account. Keep in mind that the work/school account sign-in and sync works only on Microsoft Edge Insider channels. What’s your take on the new sign-in and sync feature in Edge?
