Microsoft Authenticator users are being cautioned to back up all their passwords ahead of the company’s plan to discontinue its password management feature beginning next month.

Renowned for offering two-factor authentication for online services, Microsoft Authenticator also handles password storage and autofill for apps and websites.

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

Come July 1, the autofill feature in Authenticator will be turned off, and any stored payment data, such as credit card information, will be removed.

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.
