Microsoft accounts can now go fully passwordless:

  • Microsoft now lets you remove passwords from Microsoft accounts to embrace a passwordless future.
  • Starting yesterday, the software giant will let consumers sign into Microsoft accounts with its Microsoft Authenticator app, Windows Hello, a security key, or an SMS / email verification code instead of a password.
  • The new option arrives just months after Microsoft started rolling out passwordless authentication for commercial users in March to help people adjust to the realities of remote work.
