It’s hard to remember a strong, complex password that consists of multiple characters. And when you have to remember multiple such passwords, most people tend to resort to unsafe practices such as using similar passwords or storing them in a place where others can easily access them. Only password management apps and services seem to be a way out of this mess.

Microsoft recently announced a major autofill update to its Authenticator app. In a nutshell, it fills in usernames and passwords for you (across all platforms, yay!) so you can breeze through login pages and get straight to the content that matters. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.

The autofill feature is a major update that allows you to set it up and use it on devices such as your PC or mobile phone. By automating the process of saving usernames and passwords, this feature provides much-needed relief for users with accounts on multiple sites.

The autofill update is rolling out on mobile devices as part of the Authenticator app, while on Chrome it comes as an extension. Many who have been uncomfortable with password managers may want to try out the system now that the tech giant has released its own version. If you've used other password managers, you can also import them into Microsoft Autofill using a CSV file.
