Microsoft Autofill was a password manager developed by Microsoft for Android and iOS,[citation needed] released on February 5, 2021.[1] It was a part of Microsoft Authenticator until 2024.[2] It stored users' passwords under their Microsoft accounts. It could import passwords from Chrome and some popular password managers or from a CSV file.[3] In the Microsoft Authenticator app, Autofill required multi-factor authentication to sign in, which provided an additional layer of security. The passwords were encrypted both on the device and in the cloud.

Features

Security

The Microsoft Authenticator app requires a 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 when the password is filled out automatically. Passwords are synced over an SSL-protected HTTPS connection.

Discontinuation

The autofill feature of Microsoft Authenticator was discontinued in August 2025.[2]
