Logins without passwords from Microsoft: The passwords δεν είναι και τόσο αποτελεσματικοί όπως φαίνεται. Τρεις στους τέσσερις χρήστες χρησιμοποιούν τους ίδιους κωδικούς πρόσβασης και το 21% των χρηστών χρησιμοποιούν τους ίδιος κωδικούς για πάνω από 10 χρόνια. (Το 2014, ένας από τους πέντε πιο δημοφιλείς κωδικούς πρόσβασης ήταν οι “Password”, “123456” and “qwerty”.)
SMS authentication is said to add a level of protection, but it is not infallible, as hackers can easily redirect SMS to another number.
Here comes the good news if you are a Windows user. 
Microsoft announced today that you can sign in to your Edge browser account without a password using Windows Hello or a compatible device. FIDO2 from Yubico, Feitian or another manufacturer. Alternatively, you can use a phone running Microsoft Authenticator.
The password-free connection is starting this week in Windows 10 (version 1809) at Outlook.com, at Office 365, Skype, OneDrive, Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Xbox Live on your PC, Microsoft Store, Bing and MSN.com.
Alex Simons, vice president of Microsoft's Identity Division, said Edge is among the first applications to implement WebAuthn and CTAP2 and supports the "broadest array of authenticators" compared to other programs tours.
He also mentioned that from next year, the same login experience will come to the work environment, and to the Azure Active Directory school accounts. He also stated that corporate customers will be able to have a preview before the end of 2018.
Each month, more than 800 million people use a Microsoft account to create, connect, and share from anywhere with Outlook, Office, OneDrive, Bing, Skype, and Xbox Live. Now everyone can benefit from this simple user experience and significantly improve their security.
