Microsoft is testing support for signing into the Microsoft Edge browser with an Apple Account, according to reports based on Microsoft Edge Canary build changes. The testing appears to include browser-profile related sign-in behavior and a new sign-in entry in the profile menu, intended to reduce the need to create a separate Microsoft account.
Both outlets say the updates are controlled through new configuration flags discovered in the Canary version. One flag enables Apple Account sign-in for Edge profiles, while another adds an Apple sign-in option to the profile menu, where a Google account sign-in option already exists. Microsoft also describes Apple Account sign-in support in Edge Beta release notes, for both Windows and macOS.
The feature is characterized as a controlled rollout, so access may be gradual even among Edge Beta users. The exact timeline for broader availability is not stated in the reports, but Canary users are seeing the changes first via the newly added flags.
