I don't have a fingerprint scanner on my computer, nor facial recognition.
I do not want any kind of password that relies on my phone, because phones break and can get lost.
So basically this forces me to change from a password to a PIN and this is supposed to be more secure?
- jeroenhd 1y agoNo, this will force you to either install Microsoft Edge on your phone or switch to one of the many other password managers that do offer autofill on iOS. If you weren't synchronising your passwords through the Microsoft authenticator app, you won't be affected at all. If you were, Microsoft has decided to be annoying and make you install their browser to get password autofill support back. Microsoft prefers synchronising passkeys between devices because passkeys are immune to credential stuffing attacks, but you don't have to do what Microsoft wants.

- johnisgood 1y agoI use KeePassDX and it works quite well. I save the keyfile in a couple of places. Not sure what it has to do with Microsoft, however, but then again, I would never use Microsoft's Authenticator.
