However, the option to save passwords through autofill will continue to work in July.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the feature isn&#8217;t being completely eliminated. Instead, the saved passwords and addresses will now be synced with users&#8217; Microsoft accounts, allowing them to be accessed via the Edge web browser by setting it as the default autofill provider.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After August 2025, your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator and any generated passwords not saved will be deleted,&#8221; Redmond said.<\/p>\n<p>Another key aspect to note is that the changes do not apply to passkeys. Users who have enabled passkeys for their Microsoft accounts are required to enable Authenticator as their passkey provider. Disabling Authenticator will also have the side effect of disabling passkeys.<\/p>\n<p>Users who already use a different password manager solution such as Apple iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager can set it as their default autofill provider on their mobile devices. Users can also export their passwords from the Authenticator app and then import them into their chosen service.<\/p>\n<p>Found this article interesting?
