Microsoft Authenticator will stop autofilling passwords from July 1, 2025 as the app’s capabilities are depreciated and key functions moved over to its Edge browser. Microsoft Authenticactor has served many as an excellent free mobile authenticator app for logging in to Microsoft accounts, but now it is transferring the password autofill capabilities over to Edge.
“Autofill via Authenticator ends in July 2025,” the app now warns, “You can export your saved info (passwords only) from Authenticator until Autofill ends. Access your passwords and addresses via Microsoft Edge at any time. To keep autofilling your info, turn on Edge or other provider.”
Time to export passwords
The current timeline for phasing out Microsoft Authenticator’s password autofill capabilities is as follows:
- From June 2025, you will no longer be able to save new passwords in Authenticator
- From July 2025, the autofill function will stop working
- From August 2025, your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator
If users wish to continue using the autofill capability for their Microsoft accounts, the application now shows a “Turn on Edge” button that directs the user to enable Edge as their new password autofill app. …..
