Windows 10: Microsoft Authenticator iPhone8 and Microsoft Autofill Brave Browser

AnonymousMFA · Mar 12, 2023

My situation is that I have Microsoft Authenticator on my iPhone 8 and Microsoft Autofill configured within Brave browser on my Windows 11 machine. Everything has been working perfectly and seamlessly across this ecosystem until yesterday morning. My system is always automatically updated and I follow all of Microsoft Defender's automatic advice for security settings. I only use Microsoft Defender for Anti-virus on my PC and rely on iOS to take care of security on my iPhone. No threats or weaknesses have been detected on either devices/environments.For no reason that I can identify, all of my

Two factor authentication (TFA) is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After youve signed in with two factor authentication (TFA), youll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.

You can now autofill saved passwords from Microsoft Edge on your phone

Greetings Insiders!

We’re excited to announce that you can now autofill passwords saved in Microsoft Edge under your Microsoft account on your mobile devices as well! We’d heard from Microsoft Edge users that not being able to autofill their passwords when browsing apps and sites on mobile was a hassle. This is now solved with the latest release of the Microsoft Authenticator app. You can now set Microsoft Authenticator as the default autofill provider both on iOS and Android, and sync passwords saved under your Microsoft account on Microsoft Edge to the Authenticator app. This feature is in Preview, and we’d love for you to try it and provide your feedback!

Here’s a sneak peek of autofill experience on Android. Similar experience exists for iOS.

When you visit a site or app for which you have saved a password, Authenticator offers to autofill it.

Authenticator prompts you to save your password when you visit an app and enter your password on the login page.

Getting started:

To use the autofill feature and sync passwords, use your Microsoft account (Outlook, Hotmail, Live.com etc.) and follow these simple steps. We’ve provided Android screenshots below – the feature is available both on iOS and Android.

1 Open the Microsoft Authenticator app, go to Settings -> Beta -> Autofill, and turn the toggle ON.

2 Then, go to Passwords tab, and sign-in using your Microsoft account or sync passwords from a Microsoft account already added to Authenticator app.

Note: If you are already using autofill on Microsoft Edge with a Microsoft account, we recommend signing into Passwords tab inside Authenticator app with the same Microsoft account. This will ensure your autofill data stays in sync between Microsoft Edge and your mobile device.

3 Finally, make Authenticator the default autofill provider on your phone. There are in-app nudges and app settings that will guide you to set Authenticator as the autofill provider (Android app settings screenshot provided below). You can also follow these instructions.

iOS: Open device Settings -> Search for “Autofill Passwords” -> Click on “Autofill Passwords” -> Select “Authenticator”.

Android: Open device Settings -> Search for “Autofill” -> Select “Auto-fill service” -> Click on “Auto-fill service” on next screen -> Select “Authenticator”.

4 If you also browse on Google Chrome on desktop, you can sync and autofill the same passwords using our Chrome Extension.

Pre-requisites

Autofill experience is rolling out in Authenticator app on iOS (iOS 12.0 and above) and Android (Android 6.0 and above). Autofill feature using Microsoft Authenticator is currently in Preview and has not been enabled for all organizations or account types. If the “Autofill” toggle in Settings is grayed out for you, it is likely because you also use Authenticator app with your work account. You can use this feature on a device where your work account is not added. Organizations can contact us via their support channel contact to enable this feature. For more details, please check out the Preview launch announcement from Microsoft Authenticator here and the Microsoft Authenticator FAQs page.

We look forward to your feedback!

Can now use Autofill in Microsoft Authenticator for strong passwords

A year ago, we made a promise to simplify and help secure our customers’ lives, and what an amazing journey it’s been. We have been humbled by the love we have received over the past 12 months. We’re grateful to you, our customers, for trusting Microsoft Autofill to secure your passwords and other data and helping us with your feedback. We’ve heard you and made a lot of improvements along the way, and we thank you for that!

Today is a special day not just because it’s our 1-year anniversary, but also because starting today you can use Autofill in Microsoft Authenticator to help protect your online accounts by generating strong, unique passwords.

If you’re looking to protect your digital life or simply save time and effort when filling your personal data in forms or apps, now is a great time for you to try Autofill in Microsoft Authenticator. Here are the top 5 things Autofill can do for you!

Bring you peace of mind by managing your personal info

On average, a consumer has 90 online accounts which need passwords. Remembering passwords of those accounts is hard. Let Autofill save and remember your passwords and other info for you, or manually add one to make it available whenever you need it.

Help protect your accounts by generating strong passwords

According to the Verizon’s Data Breach Investigation Report 2021, 61% of data breaches happen due to leveraged passwords. Autofill helps you stay safer online by creating strong, unique passwords with different combinations of numbers and characters using our new Password Generator every time you create an account or change the password of an existing one. If coming up with new passwords is hard, we know remembering the ones you used is harder. Autofill will remember generated passwords for you whenever you use one—no matter which device you’re using.

Login or fill forms with one tap

Typing passwords and details like your credit card info or delivery address every time you shop online is tedious and prone to mistakes. Let Microsoft Autofill automatically type your info for you to save time and avoid mistakes.

Access your data wherever you are, whenever you need it

Want to sign in on your phone but the password is saved on your computer? Autofill lets you sync your passwords and addresses across devices and makes them available to be filled automatically, including on your desktop devices using Microsoft Edge.

Not using the Microsoft Edge browser yet on your computer? We have you covered with the Microsoft Autofill Extension on Google Chrome.

Be the only one to access your data

All Microsoft Autofill data is encrypted on both your device and the cloud when synced across devices. As an added measure of security, customers who autofill passwords or payment info with Authenticator will need to verify their identity using bio gestures. This ensures that only the rightful owner of the device can access and autofill passwords and payment info.

All new passwords are generated using an enterprise-grade password generation algorithm and have built-in randomness. Consequently, they’re difficult to guess and don’t follow any patterns or words, making them nearly immune to brute-force attacks.
Our goal is to help our customers safeguard their digital life and access their data in a simple, more secure manner. Your feedback can help us make Autofill even better, so please take this short survey to tell us about things we can improve on and help us choose what to work on next.
