Microsoft authentic is a free safety application by Microsoft. Its main function is the generation of safety code for two-factor authentication for better protection of online accounts like your eBay accounts. Microsoft enhanced functionality in the past to save passwords for apps or websites in the user authentic, so that they could be indicated.
This special facility is going away, According For a microsoft support article.
Description,
- From June 2025, Microsoft authentic users will no longer be able to save new passwords in the application.
- Since July 2025, autofil functionality is removed and is no longer available.
- In August 2025, the passwords saved are no longer accessible in the authentic app.
In other words: Microsoft is removing the option to store the password in the authentic and autofielded them in the coming months.
Microsoft argues that it is for better, as it is streamlining the process of saving passwords and providing autofil functionality. You can ask yourself how it is possible. According to Microsoft, it is simple: all existing passwords are coordinated with the Microsoft account, and users can access them when they make us microsoft edge when they make us microsoft.
While easy parts can be very well right for users who run microsoft edge anywhere, it is not for users who do not. Microsoft finds out, as it explains on the support page how to establish Microsoft Edge and make it a service provider on mobile for password autofil.
Authenticator users who do not use the edge on the platform they use the app are placed between a rock and a difficult place. Want to continue access to your saved password and autofil? Then this is the edge that you need, according to Microsoft. You need to make an autofil provider on your mobile.
So, is it really streamlining the process? With the authenticated atmosphere on many platforms, you already had the option to use various devices. Of course, the option to sync data was not as sophisticated as some other apps in the vertical, but Microsoft could also decide to improve the authentic and increase its sink feature.
Exporting Microsoft Authentic Password
Authenticator users can export their passwords to the CSV file. Many password managers support CSV files to import all saved passwords in them.
First of all, here is told how you export passwords:
- Open the microsoft authentic.
- Select Menu> Settings.
- Scroll down until you get into the autofil section.
- Activate the “export password”.
- Select the export option if indicated.
- Type screen lock password.
Comment: Passwords are stored in clear text in the file. Any access one can read all your passwords, it is highly recommended to remove the file after the import is successful. Also, do not save it in a remote place, such as, in a cloud space.
You can import them to Open Source Password Manager Bitwardon. You can also use the app to import a two-factor code from other apps, but the microsoft authentic does not appear directly supported.
Closing word
It remains to be seen whether Microsoft has attempted to streamline the password and password savings, pays the autofil, or if the users can move away from the offencator then to use a separate app for the task.
