"Password deleted"

The other day, I moved my usual Microsoft account for personal use to passwordless.

As a result, the password was completely deleted, and after that, when signing in with a Microsoft account, the procedure was changed to approve the sign-in with the "Microsoft Authenticator" application installed on the smartphone instead of the password.

The method is simple: on the Microsoft account web page (sign-in required), under Security, under Advanced Security Options, under Additional Security, under Passwordless Account, under Enable. Just click.

Turn on passwordless on the Microsoft account settings page

If the Microsoft Authenticator app has not been set up, you need to download it from the following and set it up in advance.

Set up the Microsoft Authenticator app in advance

After that, if you follow the instructions on the screen and set up, the password will be deleted from your Microsoft account relatively easily.

When the associated Authenticator becomes available when you scan the QR code with the Microsoft Authenticator app or sign in with your Microsoft account on the app side, the password to turn on passwordless again is easily deleted.

If the password that I had cherished so much is deleted so easily, it's kind of out of place.
