🔐 Microsoft Authenticator Users: Major Change Incoming

Microsoft Authenticator is phasing out its password autofill sync feature by July 2025

🚨 Heads up! If you rely on Microsoft Authenticator's password autofill sync to store or auto-fill your passwords, you'll lose access unless you export them NOW.

But instead of just exporting... consider upgrading your security.

💡 We recommend switching to privacy-first open-source alternatives like:
✅ Ente Auth – End-to-end encrypted, sleek UI, cross-device sync.
✅ Aegis Authenticator – PIN-protected, backup-friendly, fully offline.

You may have heard that the NSA can decrypt SSH at least some of the time. If you have not, then read the latest batch of Snowden documents now. All of it. This post will still be here when you finish. My goal with this post here is to make NSA analysts sad.

TL;DR: Scan this post for fixed width fonts, these will be the config file snippets and commands you have to use.
