Microsoft Edge is finally accessing Google Chrome & Firefox with this key feature


Microsoft Edge has become a bit easier to use.

Firstly, what is Microsoft Edge? Microsoft Edge is the official name of a recent and advanced web browser introduced in Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system, which was developed to replace the respected Internet Explorer web browser.

As per the latest technology news, the web browser developed by Microsoft announced in a blog post yesterday that users will no longer need a password to log onto their favorite websites. They only need Microsoft’s new Web Authentication to get in, which depends on fingerprint, face recognition and special PINs.

In the latest technology updates, the all-new feature is accessible through Windows Hello, connected or related to Google’s and Firefox’s authenticators, which was launched months ago. So when it’s revolutionary for Microsoft, the tech company is quite behind. Not surprisingly, Edge only grips 4.19 percent of market share as of publication time.


Microsoft pulled it out without a password campaign as part of its web, established on the company’s ideology that password is an “ancient security model”.

As we know it is difficult to memorise passwords every time and are basically insecure — Often reused, and vulnerable to phishing (a deliberately harmful act of keeping a false website or sending fake email purposely disguising as a trustworthy entity and acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details), cracking, “ reads the announcement enclosed by two of the company’s program managers as per the latest technology news.

Microsoft Edge users can sign in with either face recognition, their fingerprint, PIN, or by portable FIDO2 devices (devices aims to do Password-free web browsing), leveraging as in means to gain an advantage through the use of a tool of strong public-key credentials or references instead of passwords with the help of “Web Authentication”.

The fully virtual nature of the web Authenticator meant to say that if someone gets the dominance of your device, the interpoler or the intruder has no way of getting in since there is no longer a system to hack on the device. Its complete security process is essentially outsourced to Microsoft as a third party.


A few weeks ago, as per the latest technology news, Microsoft also published a web developer guide on how to code such a security tool.

Web Authentication on Microsoft Edge Microsoft ships will be accessed by everyone after Microsoft ships Windows 10 version 1809, predicted to launch before the end of the year.
