Microsoft is cracking down on security — and if you're in Australia, this will affect you.


By August 2025, Microsoft Authenticator will stop storing your passwords, and auto-fill login support is being removed. That’s right — if you’ve been relying on it for convenience, now’s the time to rethink how you secure your digital life.


📌 In this episode, Charly dives into:


✅ Why Microsoft is enforcing Multifactor Authentication (MFA) across the board - in Australia


✅ What this means for small business owners, IT managers, and everyday users


✅ What Passkeys are — and how they’re changing login security forever


✅ Practical advice for moving off MS Authenticator before it wipes your saved passwords


✅ Tools and strategies you can adopt now to stay secure and compliant


This isn’t just a “tech thing” — it’s essential knowledge for anyone who uses Microsoft products.
