Microsoft Authenticator brings password autofill to mobile devices
2020-12-16 03:03

Microsoft has released a new version of Microsoft Authenticator that now acts as a password manager for Android and iOS. With this new feature, you can now autofill credentials into websites and apps that were saved via Authenticator or Microsoft Edge's built-in password manager to your Microsoft account.

Once enabled on Microsoft Authenticator and you log in to an app or website, you will be prompted to autofill your saved password, as shown below.

When saving credentials using Microsoft Authenticator, they will automatically be synchronized with your Microsoft Account, making them available to Microsoft Edge.

You now need to make Microsoft Authenticator your default autofill provider on your mobile device.

You can now leave your Settings screen, and Microsoft Authenticator will be configured as your mobile device's password manager.
