    Microsoft Authenticator is ending support for passwords

    Microsoft will soon no longer let you use its Authenticator app to store or autofill passwords. Starting in July, you won’t be able to autofill saved passwords using Authenticator, and you’ll have to use Microsoft Edge or another password management solution instead.

    Microsoft also plans on deleting your saved payment information in Authenticator this July before erasing passwords in August. Last month, Microsoft Authenticator stopped accepting new passwords as part of plans to consolidate its password autofilling feature within Edge.

    Microsoft will automatically sync saved passwords to your account, allowing you to access them in Edge. You can set Edge as your device’s default autofill provider by finding the option in your device’s settings and selecting Edge instead of Authenticator. If you don’t want to use Edge, make sure to export your passwords to another service by August.

    Microsoft Authenticator launched as a multifactor authentication solution in 2016, and it added support for password storage in 2020. Though Microsoft Authenticator is ending support for passwords, it will continue to support passkeys, the solution that lets you use your device’s authentication method to sign into accounts, such as a PIN, fingerprint, or face scan.

    You can find more information about how to export your passwords or make Edge your default autofilling provider from Microsoft’s website.
