Are you sick of passwords? Me too! That’s why I’m thrilled you can now go passwordless with your Microsoft account. Using Microsoft Authenticator you can remove the password from your account completely, making for more secure and convenient login

Hackers don’t break in, they log in, which is why most security incidents start with credentials. Managing identities and access properly is so important! I’m proud to introduce Microsoft Entra, which helps orgs do just that.
