That&#8217;s because an upcoming change will pull the plug on the ability to use the Authenticator app to store and autofill passwords.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/account-billing\/changes-to-microsoft-authenticator-autofill-09fd75df-dc04-4477-9619-811510805ab6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">recent support document<\/a>, Microsoft revealed the timeline for Authenticator&#8217;s retirement as a password manager. Starting in June, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to add or import new passwords in the app, though you&#8217;ll still be able to save passwords through the autofill option. Beginning in July, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to autofill passwords with Authenticator. Come August, any passwords you&#8217;ve saved in the app will no longer be accessible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/10-passkey-survival-tips-prepare-for-your-passwordless-future-now\/\">10 passkey survival tips: Prepare for your passwordless future now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Authenticator isn&#8217;t going away. You&#8217;ll still be able to use it for its primary purpose, namely to generate and display multi-factor authentication codes for logging in to secure websites. But its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-use-microsoft-authenticator-as-your-password-manager\/\">sideline as a password manager<\/a> will come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>OK, but what should you do if you&#8217;ve been saving and using passwords in the app?<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft offers a few suggestions. Your stored passwords are synced to your Microsoft account, which means you can still use them elsewhere. For that, you can turn to Microsoft Edge. In <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/account-billing\/changes-to-microsoft-authenticator-autofill-09fd75df-dc04-4477-9619-811510805ab6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">its support document<\/a>, the company explains how to use Edge to autofill saved passwords. At the same time, you can use this opportunity to review your saved passwords to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/got-a-new-password-manager-dont-leave-your-old-logins-exposed-in-the-cloud-do-this-next\/\">remove any you no longer need or want<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>But Microsoft would really prefer that you start to renounce the dreaded password and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2025\/05\/01\/pushing-passkeys-forward-microsofts-latest-updates-for-simpler-safer-sign-ins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">move to the more evolved passkey<\/a>. If you&#8217;ve already set up passkeys for your Microsoft account, Authenticator can serve as your passkey provider. If not, now might be the time to make the switch.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a reason we all hate passwords. They&#8217;re hard to create and remember, vulnerable to cyberattacks and security threats, and challenging to juggle even with a password manager. In contrast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/what-are-passkeys-how-going-passwordless-can-simplify-your-life-in-2025\/\">passkeys offer a more convenient and secure alternative<\/a>. Authenticating yourself with a passkey requires a PIN, facial scan, fingerprint recognition, or physical security key, all of which are more robust methods than a password.<\/p>\n<p>The main drawback of passkeys is that they can be difficult to sync across multiple devices, especially between a PC and a mobile device. However, using a central repository, such as Microsoft Authenticator, can help with that obstacle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-password-manager\/\">The best password managers: Expert tested<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft document on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/entra\/identity\/authentication\/how-to-register-passkey-authenticator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Register passkeys in Authenticator on Android or iOS devices<\/a>&#8221; explains how to set up the Authenticator app to create passkeys for any supported account. Of course, you can use other programs to generate passkeys. I use my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-password-manager\/\">password manager<\/a> to store passkeys for different sites and accounts, and the process is quick and easy. Plus, since I use my password manager on all my devices &#8212; PCs, mobile phones, and tablets &#8212; I can access the same passkeys everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>With the deadline looming for Microsoft Authenticator&#8217;s retirement as a password manager, now is as good a time as any to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/10-passkey-survival-tips-prepare-for-your-passwordless-future-now\/\">start migrating to passkeys<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Get the morning&#8217;s top stories in your inbox each day with our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/newsletters\/\"><em>Tech Today newsletter<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/microsoft-authenticator-will-soon-ditch-passwords-for-passkeys-heres-what-to-do\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting in August, your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Microsoft&#8217;s Authenticator app. You have several options.READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-zdnet-security"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
