Credential popup in Edge: How to click faster and independent of existing window tabs?

Use case: Using modern activities, I want to click on a credential popup, inside Edge on Windows 10, that appears as soon as the website is entered into the field.

Observation: The popup is reliably clicked on using Click (modern) using UI Framework: Default and Input mode: Simulate, but only after 5+ seconds after appearing, and only if the Edge window is empty when it is initated using Use Application/Browser (modern).

Request: How do I make the click faster and independent of existing tabs, either in an already open Edge window, or from auto-opening tabs when Edge is closed?

Solution:

Use these properties for the following activities:

  1. Use Application/Browser (modern) with Properties: Selector = <html app='msedge.exe' url='about:blank' />, URL = “about:blank” (to fasten up the following click), Input mode = Simulate and Open = Always (to evade Edge window with existing tabs open)

  2. Go To URL (modern) with Properties: URL = (website that prompts the credential popup)

  3. Click (modern) (as many as you need) using UI Framework: Default with Properties: Selector = (selector for your popup, excluding at least the title attribute to evade not finding the window if it auto-opens with tabs from previous session} and Input mode = Same as App/Browser.
