Microsoft Authenticator, to protect your passwords

All the Passwords They are one of the fundamental pillars that protect our accounts on the network. Experts insist more and more on periodically changing passwords and making them much more difficult to crack. However, as a counterpoint to increasing the difficulty of passwords means that how difficult they are we do not remember them. That's where apps like 1Password or Microsoft Authenticator come in. Microsoft has publicly released the 'Autofill' tool for all compatible devices included within its Authenticator app.

Authenticator stores your passwords in your microsoft account.

Microsoft has released publicly, and not in beta as they had until now, the new function Autofill from your Authenticator app. This new tool is nothing more than a password manager and store that will allow access much faster with the autocompletion of the same when we go to access the different services.

The tool works on macOS via Microsoft Edge and a Google Chrome extension and on iOS and Android devices. If we install the app on our iPad or iPhone we will have to apply an extra layer of security: Face ID, Touch ID or a code, so that we protect the sensitive information that is stored in the application. In case we want to access on our computer, we can do so through our Microsoft account.
