Multifactor Authentication, Passkeys and Microsoft – How Do These Affect Me? (2025/549)
Microsoft is cracking down on security — and if you're in Australia, this will affect you.
By August 2025, Microsoft Authenticator will stop storing your passwords, and auto-fill login support is being removed. That’s right — if you’ve been relying on it for convenience, now’s the time to rethink how you secure your digital life.
📌 In this episode, Charly dives into:
✅ Why Microsoft is enforcing Multifactor Authentication (MFA) across the board - in Australia
✅ What this means for small business owners, IT managers, and everyday users
✅ What Passkeys are — and how they’re changing login security forever
✅ Practical advice for moving off MS Authenticator before it wipes your saved passwords
✅ Tools and strategies you can adopt now to stay secure and compliant
This isn’t just a “tech thing” — it’s essential knowledge for anyone who uses Microsoft products.
