AI Summary

A password manager is a software application or service designed to securely store, generate, and manage a user's various login credentials and other sensitive information. Recently, Microsoft has announced it is phasing out password management support from its Authenticator app, with stored passwords and payment details set to be deleted for users starting as early as next month. This move is part of a larger industry transition towards more secure, passwordless authentication methods like passkeys, prompting urgent advisories for users to migrate their data.
