As announced, Microsoft today deletes all stored passwords from his authenticator app. Users have to secure their access data before they are lost permanently. Other functions of the app are preserved.
Users must secure passwords
For users of the Microsoft Authenticator, it is a critical deadline: As announced at the beginning of May, all stored passwords are irrevocably deleted from the app on August 1, 2025. If you do not ensure or transfer the data, you permanently lose access to the stored passwords.
The changeover takes place gradually and has been going on for months. Since June 2025, it has no longer been possible to save new passwords in the app or to import from external sources. This affects both manual entries and the synchronization with other services. In July 2025, the autofill function was then deactivated, so that the app no longer automatically entered login fields on websites or in apps.
