"Microsoft Authenticator" supports automatic entry of address and payment information

Microsoft announced on October 18 (local time) that the mobile authentication and password management application "Microsoft Authenticator" supports automatic input of address and payment information (autofill). As with passwords, you will be able to enter your shipping address and credit card easily and accurately.

"Microsoft Authenticator" is a mobile app that allows you to securely log in to your "Microsoft account" without a password. If you install it on your iOS / Android device in advance, for example, when you need to log in to your "Microsoft account" on your PC, just tap the notification to your mobile device and unlock the app to complete the login process. It is possible to make it. You can also use the built-in authentication functions (PIN, fingerprint authentication, face authentication, etc.) to unlock the app.

And another important feature of "Microsoft Authenticator" is the ability to sync passwords stored in your "Microsoft account". Other things that store passwords in your "Microsoft account" are "Microsoft Edge" (Windows / Mac / Linux, iOS / Android) and "Microsoft Autofill" extensions (Google Chrome, Chrome OS), but you can combine them. Then you can build a password management solution for almost any platform for free. If you register as an iOS / Android autofill provider, you can use it instead of Apple's or Google's password management services.
