Do not use your password
All change for Microsoft. The company has suddenly confirmed a major update “for over 1 billion end users,” as the deletion of passwords for all users becomes real. Your Microsoft password, it warns, “could be easily forgotten or guessed by an attacker,” and it’s now time “to completely remove the password from your account.”
“The password era is ending,” Microsoft warned in December. “Bad actors know it, which is why they’re desperately accelerating password-related attacks while they still can.” With “7,000 attacks on passwords [blocked] per second… almost double from a year ago,” the company is on a mission to “convince a billion users to love passkeys.”
