Steps to reproduce

The code new URL("http://username:password@127.0.0.1:80/jsonrpc") throws A security problem occurred. on Edge (14.14372).

The standard never mentions about disallowing credential in URLs, and the code above runs successfully in Firefox (48) and Chrome (52) and returns username and password without problem.

I’m porting an extension from Chrome, it relies on this API to parse URL and make requests.

    Where are you getting this error at in Edge? I have searched the event viewer and the console but am not seeing the error you describe in builds 10586+

    All the best,

    Also tested in 10586, same result.
