Now, Microsoft users can ditch passwords altogether and enter what the company calls the 'passwordless future.' Company officials said it will make logging into your account both easier and safer. 'Yet for years they've been the most important layer of security for everything in our digital lives - from email to bank accounts, shopping carts to video games,' she added. They're a prime target for attacks,' Vasu Jakkal, Microsoft's corporate vice president of security, compliance and identity, said in a statement.

Microsoft is about to make it easier for those of us who struggle to keep track of our passwords or remember which one we used for each account.
