Users of Microsoft Authenticator have been warned to save all their passwords before the company plans to phase out its password management system starting next month.

Microsoft Authenticator, known for providing two-factor authentication for online accounts, also stores and autofills passwords for apps and websites.

However, starting June 1, the app will stop saving new passwords as Microsoft shifts password management to its Edge browser.

By July 1, the autofill function in Authenticator will be disabled, and any saved payment information, including credit card details, will be deleted.



Microsoft has noted that this payment data will not automatically transfer to Edge, so users will need to re-enter their card details manually.

By August, all previously saved passwords will be removed from the Authenticator app entirely.

The company says that anyone who wants to keep using their passwords and log-ins after August must download Microsoft Edge onto their phone and other devices.

The move is aimed at streamlining password access and autofill across all platforms using Edge’s integrated password manager.
