Microsoft Autofill is a password manager developed by Microsoft. It supports multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, and Google Chrome browser. It is a part of the Microsoft Authenticator app in Android and iOS, and a browser extension on the Google Chrome.[2] It stores users' passwords under the user's Microsoft Account. It can import passwords from Chrome and some popular password managers, or from a CSV file. In a Microsoft Authenticator app, it requires multi-factor authentication to sign in which provides an additional layer of security. The passwords are encrypted both on the device and on the cloud.[1]
Security[edit]
The Microsoft Authenticator app requires biometric or device passcode as extra security. The passwords on the device are encrypted, and encryption/decryption keys are not stored and are always generated when needed. Passwords are decrypted only when a user wants to see the password or the password is filled out automatically. Passwords are synced over an SSL-protected HTTPS connection.[3]
