A MAJOR app will be wiping millions of passwords and payment details in just weeks. 

Brits have just weeks to swap away from the service in order to save their details.

Microsoft is axing the Authenticator app’s password storing service in July. 

In just a few days, saved passwords won’t be available to appear in the autofill function. 

Weeks after that change, all saved payment information will be wiped from the Authenticator.

In August, all passwords will be deleted from the app. 

In order to retain their payment and password details, Brits will need to swap to the Microsoft Edge app – where their details can be synced over. 

Edge can be set as your device’s autofill provider by selecting it in your settings. 

Microsoft Authenticator first launched in 2016 and began enabling password storage in 2020. 

Although this service has now come to an end, Authenticator will continue to provide some other functions. 

It will support passkeys, which uses a PIN, fingerprint or face scan to log into some accounts. 

The news comes after Microsoft axed another iconic feature – though that comes as welcome news to some users. 

The blue screen of death is famed for filling users with dread, as it marked that a user’s computer had run into a major issue. 

The frowning face and QR code will also no longer appear if your computer crashes. 

Users on social media cried that this marked the “end of an era”. 

One user wrote: “The Blue Screen of Death is dying for one last time and Windows crashes just won’t be the same ever again!”

Another said: “But… I was literally just getting used to it.”

Microsoft hopes that axing the feature will speed up waiting times for its users, with the brand hoping that it will enable computers to reboot quicker.
