Security News > 2022 > December > How Windows 11's Enhanced Phishing Protection guards your password
To help combat the constant risk of password theft, Microsoft added phishing protection in Windows 11 Version 22H2. When enabled, Enhanced Phishing Protection is offered through Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.
If Enhanced Phishing Protection detects a user entered their Windows password into a website or an application, an alert and prompt are shown warning the user to change their password.
With Specops Password Policy, you gain a constantly updated breached/stolen password list and powerful and customizable password policies.
An organization with Enhanced Phishing Protection paired with Specops Password Policy and Breached Password List functionality ensures that your users stay safe.
With the Specops Authentication Client, upon password changes, instantly inform your users as to why their password won't work, even more so if the password has been stolen through a sophisticated phishing scam.
Combine Microsoft's Enhanced Phishing Protection and Specops Password Policy to protect both your users and your environment.
