what can you realistically do now?

July 2025: You won't be able to use the autofill password function.
August 2025: You'll no longer be able to use saved passwords.

Microsoft Authenticator houses your passwords and lets you sign into all of your Microsoft accounts using a PIN, facial recognition such as Windows Hello, or other biometric data, like a fingerprint. Authenticator can be used in other ways, such as verifying you're logging in if you forgot your password, or using two-factor authentication as an extra layer of security for your Microsoft accounts.
In June, Microsoft stopped letting users add new passwords to Authenticator, but its gonna get progressively worse now.

You need to log in with your:

i dont use a password for windows, its worthless and any attacker can circumvent it with ease. even every amateur can enter "circumvent windows login" into a searchprogram. better use full disk encryption (not the one from windows where LEO has the backup-keys) and have an off-site backup in case your house gets raided / bombed / arsoned

for webbrowser i just save passwords in firefox, deleted the poor chrome-imitation windows comes with "edge" or whatever

everything else is saved in good old plaintext .txt on my desktop (not kidding)

as for "non-important" computers - why would you use a password at all? to prevent your 11 year old to use it?

>eye scan
>finger scan
>facial scan

just some datagrab from NSA & Co, wont do this

If you know how to self host services in docker, you could use vaultwarden - I haven’t done it yet, but probably will eventually. Only thing sketchy is you gotta have RAID or mirroring and offsite backups, if it’s all your important passwords, because you’re SOL if a drive fails or the server fails.

Do you think it stops at Microsoft if it goes over "well"? What happens if your job requires you to have an account somewhere and it does the same? Meanwhile the App will only be for Android or iOS of this version or above, ensuring you have the latest device. This will all be for your own security or something lol.

Just remember them

>>509165022

This is only for mobile though right?

We have a salesteam that is older than dirt and i dont know how theyd handle this.

Accessing our sharepoint and exchange wont be an issue on PC right? That's what im reading at least.

Kinda glad to see this news instead of being unable to prepare for it. Love /pol/ so much.

I dont understand the need of a password manager. I get it if you are a financial/logistic company that manages thousands of personal accounts daily, but on a personal level, all you need to do is to create a txt file and write with your passwords in it, zip it, and lock it with a relatively complex code on it. That code you can either memorize it, or write it down in a cryptic way only you can solve. Have that encrypted zip filev stored in a usb your phone(and in a 3rd device as a back up) and use it every time you need to log in somewhere

I use leenoox

>>509170224
Yeah but in this case it's biometric authentication from your phone. Small price to pay to know you don't have to change your passwords every 3 months.

>>509170106
It's *mostly* people who fall for phishing scams or download malware, but the other side is sites or services getting hacked and having user data like username/email/password combinations exposed.

I've got about a dozen different username/semi-strong password combos I use so I can memorize them all and don't have to have them recorded or saved anywhere, but the downside is I've got to check services like haveibeenpwned every month or so to make sure none of the sites I have accounts on have been breached. I had one of my combos exposed in a breach last year and had to resecure a bunch of accounts.

It sucks that this is the state of things now. Twenty-five years ago I had one email and password for everything and I never got a single spam link or phishing email. Now I'm just constantly anxious about cyber security shit.

>>509170209
That doesn't stop them from trying. I used to get emails where some retard using a VPN from Taiwan was trying to access my email and one day I got a text at 3 am that he succeeded somehow but he didn't have my authenticator

>>509169931
Not how it works.
On windows you always have a password, even if you don't see it or have access to it. Most these auth apps that's ping your phone and shit just use some API to place themselves as an auth provider, similar to OpenSSH for windows.

>>509170862
>every time you need to log in somewhere
That's the main issue. People nowadays have so many accounts on so many sites and services that they use on a daily or weekly basis and it's too much of a time sink to be decrypting and re-encrypting files every time you want to sign in to one.

>>509170984
It's outlook. Microsoft does their own authentication. It's a combination biometric scanner and password less login where you need access to your phone

Looks like SIM swap attacks will be on the rise. Better call your carrier and have them lock your phone sim and require some type of pin/pass to access your mobile phone account.

2FA/MFA is gay as fuck and totally unneeded for local accounts. But the nigger faggot trannies running the tech companies want to push globohomo.

>>509170853
MFA is still going to work, they're just dropping password support for other apps.

Also, MFA isn't bulletproof and I've seen hackers get around it. Just dealt with it today.

>try to push a yubico subscription on the company to avoid having to use this pile of shit
>company refuses, forces us to install this on our own phones
>IT now has access to all authentication attempts with location data

they are using the fact that most companies that use windows are fucking cheap bastards, if you are told by your company to install this, ask for a yubikey instead and say your phone is too out of date (there is an OS requirement in order for azure to actually trust the device as an authenticator, if your phone is too far out of date it can't be trusted by the platform)

>>509171100
not everyone wants to perform 6 steps in troonix to install a browser and then get random kernel boot failures once a month

NEVER use a microsoft or google product to keep anything important to you. These two companies (especially google) are prone to discontinue products on a whim, with very short notice and with no provision to allow users to migrate whatever they had it saved there to a new platform.

You're halfway there, and I'm surprised this comment doesn't have more attention.

You cannot be compelled by a court to give up a passphrase or even an unlock pattern because, being information of the mind, it is protected by the 5th amendment right against self incrimination. Your fingerprints, DNA, iris scans, passwords stored on hardware or written on paper, etc etc are only protected partially by the 4th amendment, given that it's information of the physical nature and a judge can compell you to give those up.

Correct. Biometrics can be warranted, but password reveals can't be forced because of the 5th amendment and 1st.

They can subpoena another company to unlock your shit. And barring that, if the "password" is biometric, they can just scan you and unlock it.

Butthole scan when?

I still don't get why passwords are bad.

Browsers should be hashing client side to map user passwords into good passwords. Browsers should also do this automatically so logins are completely invisible after locally authenticating on the browser. But i guess that's not nearly as important as moving the settings menu to the other side of the screen or whatever.
