Microsoft's Authenticator app will delete all saved passwords by August, pushing users towards more secure passkeys.

Microsoft's Authenticator app will delete all saved passwords by August 2025, prompting users to export their passwords before they are permanently lost. The company is shifting to passkeys, which use biometrics for a faster and more secure sign-in process. Users can save passwords via Microsoft Edge or other browsers like Chrome and Safari, though Microsoft Edge does not encrypt these passwords. This change aims to enhance security against password attacks.
