- Microsoft Authenticator closes today
In case you miss the warnings, Microsoft Authenticator closes today (August 1, 2025) and deletes all your saved passwords – unless you do a few important things.
Microsoft has warned users about the impending shutdown of its authentificator -app for some time now and notified users that they will need to switch to use Paskers rather than the Microsoft authentication.
For anyone who has not prepared for today’s shutdown, this is your last chance to port all your stored credentials for Microsoft Edge.
How to Save Your Passwords
As an added bonus, Passkeyys can be verified using safe biometric approval using a face recognition scan or a fingerprint.
If you want to save all your stored Microsoft authentication passwords to access them later, you only have today to transfer your passwords to Microsoft Edge. Otherwise, they are deleted and you cannot access them.
Du skal blot logge ind på din Microsoft Authenticator -konto, og en prompt vises, der beder dig om at oprette en ny paskey. Alternatively, you can open your account, tap the ‘Set up a Passkey’ and then use your existing username and password to log in.
Microsoft har brugt en masse tid og kræfter på at gøre PASSKEYS til standard loginindstillingen og studere, hvordan brugere interagerer med pasker, og hvad der ville gøre en bruger mere tilbøjelig til at bruge en PASSKEY. The perk that reverberates most with users is the ability to log faster and easier than enter a password.
For a hacker to crack on a Passkey -protected account, they should have physical access to your face or fingerprint or in some cases a secure pin.
