Microsoft is shutting down an essential feature in an app that is used by millions to log into accounts.
The tech giant announced this week that users will no longer be able to store passwords in its Authenticator app, which is an extra layer of security for accounts that generates one-time passwords.
大约有7500万人使用该应用程序存储其证书，但是微软将从8月开始删除代码。
这将影响Microsoft服务的用户，例如Outlook，Excel以及使用Android和iOS智能手机的用户。
如果您使用身份验证器来管理登录器来管理登录名，则需要立即采取行动。导出密码或切换到另一个密码管理器以避免丢失访问权限。
此更改是微软更大计划的一部分，即使其安全工具变得更简单，并吸引更多的人使用其边缘网络浏览器。
现在，Edge仅占全球浏览器市场的5.2％。 相比之下，Google Chrome的主导地位超过66％。
更改后，用户将需要使用Edge访问其保存的密码，除非他们将其移至另一个应用程序。

Microsoft is accelerating its move away from traditional passwords and urging users to adopt passkey, a login method that uses your fingerprint or face to sign in securely.
The tech giant says the change is urgent, citing a massive rise in cyberattacks.
Microsoft现在每秒阻止7,000多个基于密码的攻击，几乎是去年所看到的数字。
支持这一转变，以支持这种转变，过渡始于6月，当时该公司停止用户将新密码添加或导入新密码。
Microsoft将删除自动填充网站和应用程序信息的能力。
Then, in August, all saved and unsaved passwords, along with any payment information stored in the app, will be permanently deleted.
Users who don't transition to passkeys soon could find themselves locked out of important accounts, including email, banking, and social media apps.
Microsoft认为，Passkeys提供了更强的安全性，因为它们无法在网络钓鱼攻击中被重复使用，猜测或被盗。
身份验证器应用程序将继续支持Passkeys，但有一个重要的警告。
如果您已将绑定到Microsoft帐户绑定，则必须使应用程序保持活跃； disabling or deleting it will also disable access to your passkey logins.
If you do not use passkeys, Microsoft recommends switching to a different password manager and removing Authenticator as your autofill tool.
Good alternatives include Google Password Manager, Apple iCloud Keychain, Bitwarden, and 1Password。

These apps let you store and sync passwords safely across your devices.
To export your saved passwords from Authenticator, go to Settings, click on Export Passwords, click on Export, then move the file into your new password app.
Microsoft warns that the exported file is not encrypted, meaning anyone who gets it could read it. You should delete it right after transferring.
在应用程序中保存的地址也不会自动移动。发布任何学术研究或外部研究以支持这一决定。不便。凭证管理……从理论上讲，这是双赢的。
