Microsoft Edge may allow users to sign in using their Apple accounts.
The new login option was found in the Microsoft Edge Canary version, an experimental build that includes new, still-developing features.
Although these features are incomplete, they provide insights into which new final features could be incorporated into Microsoft’s browser.
Leo Valera, known as @Leopeva64 on X, focuses on software leaks and browser features and recently spotted the new feature in Microsoft Edge Canary.
“In Edge Canary for desktop, there are a couple of new flags to enable support for signing in with an Apple account,” shared the X user.
Valera also noted that Microsoft previously added support for Google accounts, too.
If the company proceeds with the feature, it could be good news for users of Windows and Apple products, making it easier to sync their content, history, and bookmarks across devices.
At the beginning of July 2026, Microsoft Edge allowed users to sign in with their Google accounts.
Before the official release, Valera also noted that the feature appeared on Microsoft Edge Canary.
However, it’s not yet clear when Apple users will be able to use the new feature and sign in to Microsoft Edge with their accounts.
Users can still use Microsoft Edge without signing in to their account.
