Microsoft has announced that the Microsoft Authenticator app will no longer support password storage or autofill capabilities starting this July. Microsoft is quickly moving to passwordless authentication methods.

Beginning in July, Microsoft Authenticator will cease supporting the autofilling of saved passwords. At the same time, stored payment information will also be removed from the application. By August, all saved passwords will be deleted from the app entirely. Users who wish to retain access to their stored credentials should export them before this deadline, and/or import this data into an alternative password manager.

Microsoft will automatically synchronize previously saved passwords with the user's Microsoft account. This will allow the user to access them through Microsoft Edge. Additionally, the user can set Edge as the default autofill provider on the device. Obviously, this will only work if you use Edge on your smartphone. Otherwise, you must migrate your data to another password management solution before full removal occurs.
