If you frequently use the various Internet services, you will surely have accumulated many different passwords. In fact, with the pandemic, virtual transactions have increased. For each of them a password is required and it is necessary to remember them all. For this, there are programs that store and remember them for us. However, it does not hurt, in addition to that, to have a program that increases this security in the connections. This is where Microsoft Authenticator comes in. whose Apple Watch app will disappear next month.
Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is something that should sound familiar to you. More than that, you should use it daily. Increasing the security of your connections is almost a must right now. The double factor of what it does is to ensure that the person logging in is the owner of the account in question. You enter username and password details which may have been stolen somehow, but instead of logging in, the Authenticator program asks you to enter a password random that changes every few seconds. A key that you can find through an app. Now yes, it’s the owner who enters, unless your cell phone has been stolen or he has access to that specific 2FA application.
The thing is, Google has one, I would say the most used, but Microsoft has its own too. Both have a specific app for the Apple Watch, but one is going away next month. Microsoft’s days are numbered. In January 2023, you will no longer be able to use it across the clock. Microsoft suggests anyone with the watchOS app installed to remove it, as it won’t work in January. What is the reason?. Well, according to the company, watchOS is incompatible with certain Microsoft app security settings.
