Microsoft detected that changing passwords are a huge tussle that computer users are facing and above that there are so many to keep tabs on which is mentally exhausting. Hacks and breaches are another set of problems for which users have to switch passwords very often and it is hard to remember. Users are baffled as in what is the end solution!

Do not worry people, Microsoft is here to help you with its new version of Windows 10 that discards log-in password and you can either sign in with your face, PIN, or fingerprint. Well guys, in this version you need not set up a password and go through further bothering options it is skipped. In the new version, you simply tap a notification on your phone to authorize your account.

The application name is Microsoft Authenticator which is available in app stores for quite a while now. You just have to install Microsoft Authenticator and sign in with your Microsoft account when Microsoft identifies you trying to sign in then you will get an alert asking you to approve the request. This facility is available on Windows 10 S and this is a special mode where users can install applications which are listed in Windows store.
