Microsoft makes all new accounts passwordless by default

[winchester73]

Microsoft has announced that all new Microsoft accounts will be "passwordless by default" to secure them against password attacks such as phishing, brute force, and credential stuffing.

The announcement comes after the company started rolling out updated sign-in and sign-up user experience (UX) flows for web and mobile apps in March, optimized for passwordless and passkey-first authentication.
