Autofill in Microsoft Authenticator has been a way to securely store and autofill passwords on apps and websites you visit on your phone.
Microsoft is streamlining autofill so you can use saved passwords easily across devices. As part of these updates, autofill in Microsoft Authenticator will be discontinued from July 2025.
When are the autofill changes happening?
-
Starting June 2025, you will no longer be able to save new passwords in Authenticator.
-
During July 2025, you will not be able to use autofill with Authenticator.
-
From August 2025, your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator.
What happens to my saved data?
Your passwords and addresses are securely synced to your Microsoft account, and you can continue to access them and enjoy seamless autofill functionality with Microsoft Edge, a secure and user-friendly AI-powered web browser that offers features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode.
After July 2025, any payment information stored in Authenticator will be deleted from your device.
What happens to my saved passkeys?
Authenticator will continue to support passkeys.
Note: If you have set up Passkeys for your Microsoft Account, ensure that Authenticator remains enabled as your Passkey Provider. Disabling Authenticator will disable your passkeys.
