When is Microsoft going to bring Microsoft Authenticator windows aka desktop or within edge itself?
When is Microsoft going to bring Microsoft Authenticator windows aka desktop or within edge itself? (People like me lose mobiles) Isn't Windows device considered anything? Only mobiles and andr...

Yeah a system-wide Password Management & 2FA app by Microsoft is very much needed. I think they have taken some steps with Edge Wallet, but it needs to go further.

Their MS guy is clairying me this,
In short, windows is not as sound and worthy as android or ios or macOS and might be discontinued so Microsoft is less likely to invest anything in Windows apart from AI. You can see "Killed by Microsoft" (https://killedbymicrosoft.info/) so I can see why they are uninterested. If everything is going to be on mobile, then I should buy android tablet and chromebooks and android laptops rather than use bloated and soon-to-be-dying windows.
The edge thing is limited to edge and if you are logged out of edge or not logged in (and expecting to be logged in), then you are in mess. A standalone app matters. If in future, edge adds video player in edge browser, I wouldn't uninstall VLC or potplayer, because the latter both holds an important role. Plus edge doesnt has 2fa stuff in it yet. It doesnt have addresses and notes section yet like chrome has got it now with 121 for all devices.
