Delete Your Windows 10 Password Now: Microsoft Suddenly Issues Security Update For Millions ForbesTech
Does this really mean the end of passwords for Windows 10 users?
"If a user loses access to the Microsoft Authenticator app for whatever reason," a Microsoft spokesperson told me,"they can still recover their account if they have access to their other verification options, such as an email or phone number." As standard, this would simply be one code, and you are back in.
OK, that led me to ask about Windows specifically because not everyone uses a Microsoft account to sign in on their Windows platform; some prefer to use a local account instead. This could lead to the confusing situation whereby a user could go passwordless as far as their Microsoft account is concerned but still need a password for their Windows 10 or 11 access.
To clarify, this means that Windows 10 or 11 users can take advantage of the improved security on offer without passwords, but they must be using the Microsoft account option to do so.
