Microsoft to phase out SMS logins amid rising fraud risk Security shift: Microsoft will remove SMS authentication from personal accounts, including Xbox, due to its susceptibility to phishing and SIM-swap attacks. Passkey push: Users are encouraged to adopt passkeys, verified emails, or Microsoft Authenticator for more secure, passwordless logins. Active threats: The FBI warns hackers are exploiting legitimate Microsoft login flows to bypass MFA and hijack Microsoft 365 accounts. Why Microsoft's SMS login ban matters now Microsoft’s decision to retire SMS authentication aligns with growing evidence of its vulnerability to fraud, particularly phishing and SIM-swap attacks. The FBI’s recent alert underscores that even MFA can be circumvented if attackers manipulate legitimate login flows. By removing SMS, Microsoft aims to reduce the attack surface for such exploits.

Re: Microsoft to phase out SMS logins amid rising fraud risk I don't use SMS for login pushing "passkeys" they're "going after" everyone with "older, unsupported hardware" and going after everyone not using win 11 my personal "outlook-live" email will send a code to my "recovery email" if I want it to do it or I can select "use my password" - guess we'll see how long that lasts gmail and yahoo will send codes to recovery email also (°ö°) | |
