Microsoft will no longer require you to enter password to sign-in to accounts and apps

Microsoft has announced that account holders would no longer require passwords to sign in. Instead, they can log into their accounts using one of Windows Hello, Microsoft Authenticator, a verification code, or a security key. The tech giant will extend this feature to the entire line-up of Microsoft apps.

The Washington-based tech company has been fiddling with password-less sign-in options for a few years now. In 2019, the company first introduced the option of passwordless sign-ins with Windows 10 that allowed users to replace their passwords with Fingerprint, Windows Hello Face, or PIN to sign in.
