Microsoft Plans to Turn Microsoft Authenticator Into an Authenticator
In practice, this means that any passwords not exported or saved elsewhere will be lost after August. Microsoft has already removed the option to add or import new passwords into the app as of last month, though autofill for existing passwords will continue to work through July, as reported by Hacker News.
"Starting July 2025, the autofill feature in Authenticator will stop working, and from August 2025, passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator," Microsoft now says.
Saved passwords and addresses will be synced with users' Microsoft accounts, so they will be available for use in the Edge web browser if it is set as the default autofill provider.
Payment information stored in the Authenticator will be deleted after July and will not be moved automatically. If you use Authenticator to manage your passwords, please export your credentials. You can then import them into another service like Apple iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager.
All this does not affect passkeys. If you use passkeys for your Microsoft account, you must keep the Authenticator app enabled. If you disable the app, your passkeys will also stop working. The Authenticator app will continue to give users secure one-time codes and passwordless approvals.

Alaska Airlines resumes operations after IT outage
By Gursimran Mehar and Shivani Tanna (Reuters) -U.S. carrier Alaska Airlines resumed operations late on Sunday after briefly grounding all of its flights for about three hours due to an IT outage, marking the second time it has halted its fleet in just over a year. The company requested a system-wide ground stop for Alaska and Horizon Air flights at around 8 p.m. Pacific on Sunday (0300 GMT on Monday) after it said that an outage impacted its systems, and lifted the ground stop by 11 p.m. Pacific, the carrier said. "As we reposition our aircraft and crews, there will most likely be residual impacts to our flights. It will take some time to get our overall operations back to normal," the Seattle-based company said. Alaska did not immediately specify the nature of the IT outage. In April 2024, Alaska grounded its entire fleet due to an issue with the system that calculates the weight and balance of its planes. Alaska Air Group maintains an operational fleet of 238 Boeing 737 aircraft, and 87 Embraer 175 aircraft, according to its website. In June, Alaska Air Group-owned Hawaiian Airlines said some of its IT systems were disrupted by a hack. Alaska Air Group said it was still determining the financial impact of that event. The news of Alaska's IT issues comes at a time when tech companies Google and Palo Alto Networks have warned of the "Scattered Spider" hacking group's interest in the aviation sector. Canada's WestJet Airlines was struck by an unspecified cyber incident in June, while Australia's Qantas experienced a data breach in July where a cyber hacker accessed the personal information of millions of customers. But those incidents did not affect flying operations. Separately, Microsoft said on Sunday that there were "active attacks" on its server software used by government agencies and businesses. Alaska did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment on whether the outage was related to the Microsoft announcement.
