This decision comes over two years after the company initially disclosed its plans to deprecate the outdated technology, which is vulnerable to relay attacks. The transition is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to enhance security within its systems. The initiative underscores the company’s commitment to improving user safety and modernizing its authentication framework.
