Microsoft announced the start of canceling the use of passwords for its users, confirming that its era has been nearing completion, in the context of enhancing account security and protecting users from increased penetration operations.
In a publication on its official blog, the company explained that it is dealing with more than 7,000 attempts to penetrate the passwords every second, noting that passwords are no longer an effective protection due to its ease of penetration through guessing and electronic attacks.
Microsoft confirmed in its statement that the passwords have become the safest alternative, as it provides a stronger protection layer compared to traditional passwords, making it the best option to protect devices and personal accounts from electronic threats.
Traffic keys are a safe way
Microsoft has provided its users more sophisticated and effective safety tools through traffic keys, which depend on material input, which makes them insecure compared to traditional passwords.
The company also announced the start of the inclusion of these new security means from next May, to enhance the protection of accounts and ensure a safer experience for users.
After creating new accounts, there will be no need to create passwords, as the user will be satisfied with entering his email, which facilitates the login process and enhances the safety level through traffic keys instead of traditional means.
Anti -hunting fraudulent
Microsoft has sought to enhance the protection of users through safer technologies, as a report issued by the company’s cybersecurity experts revealed that passwords are among the most targeted means by hackers.
Cyber security experts in Microsoft explained that even when using a password next to a password, the account remains vulnerable to penetration, so Microsoft recommends that all passwords be completely deleted and rely on traffic keys that require material input, providing stronger protection and greater safety for users.
