Users can now delete all passwords from their accounts and login using their FINGERPRINT or authenticator apps instead

Microsoft has announced that all users can now go 'passwordless' — logging in to their accounts using other methods like fingerprints or authenticator apps instead.

The problem with passwords, they argued, is that they can be guessed or stolen — and, when elaborate enough to be secure are generally hard to remember.

In contrast, they said, only the correct users can provide their fingerprint or respond using the authenticator app on their phone.

The passwordless feature will not work with some older devices and platforms, however — including Xbox 360 consoles, Office 2010 and Windows 8.1 or earlier.



HOW TO GO PASSWORDLESS

Microsoft had the following instructions for users wishing to go passwordless themselves:

1. First, ensure you have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed and linked to your personal Microsoft account.
2. Next, visit your Microsoft account , sign in, and choose Advanced Security Options.
3. Under Additional Security Options, you’ll see Passwordless Account. Select Turn on.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts, and then approve the notification from your Authenticator app.
5. Once you’ve approved, you’re free from your password!
6. If you decide you prefer using a password, you can always add it back to your account.

Microsoft confirmed the feature will be rolled out over the coming weeks.

According to Microsoft, users who go passwordless and then lose access to their authenticator app can resort to one of a number of backup login options.

These include facial recognition (where available), a physical security key or using SMS or email codes.
