Microsoft Autofill extension lets you autofill and save your passwords to your Microsoft account while browsing on Chrome, which ensures your passwords stay in sync no matter where you use them – on your mobile, Microsoft Edge and Chrome. To address this need, we’ve launched a Microsoft Autofill extension on the Chrome Web Store. We also heard from customers who use multiple browsers that they need a secure way to access their Microsoft Edge passwords even when they’re browsing on Google Chrome. If you have passwords saved under your Microsoft account on Microsoft Edge, they will sync to the Authenticator app. To get started with autofill on mobile, open the Microsoft Authenticator app, and then sign-in on the Passwords tab with your Microsoft account. Autofill is currently being rolled out on iOS and Android as part of the Microsoft Authenticator app, and on Google Chrome as an Autofill extension.Īutofill and sync your passwords across mobile, Microsoft Edge and Google ChromeĪutofill stores your passwords under your Microsoft account.
