Microsoft:
Microsoft believes that the future of authentication is passwordless, secure, and user-friendly.
SMS-based authentication is now a leading source of fraud, and by moving to passwordless accounts, passkeys, and verified email, we’re helping you stay ahead of evolving threats while making account access simpler and more seamless.
Good. Hopefully this is a trend that more and more companies get onboard with, along with passkey adoption.
I’ve long appreciated Apple’s long-time feature to autofill (and auto-delete) codes via SMS has been a great stop-gap, but we should stop relying on SMS for these things altogether.
