Microsoft account holders can use their phones to log in to their accounts without entering a password. Microsoft is allowing to login to new phones in its Microsoft Authenticator application, available for iOS and Android.

Previously this application was used for 2-factor authentication requests, in the latest update, you can skip the password entry with a Microsoft account login prompt.

To enable this feature, you need to download Microsoft Authenticator for iOS or Microsoft Authenticator for Android and select an account from the drop-down menu and choose to enable the phone login feature. Later, every time you log into your Microsoft account it will create a login request, you just need to compare the number on the computer with the number in the Microsoft Authenticator application so that it matches.

Of course, if you want, you can still choose to use a password to log in if you forget your phone, but the process will be easier and more important.

Why? If you follow the normal login method, you will enter the password, then you have to wait for Microsoft to send the confirmation code to the phone, and enter this authentication code to log in to the account. But now, you only have to do the following step.

Thanks to the competition between Google and Microsoft, we are moving towards a future where we never have to enter a password to log in to the application or service again.
