back to article So few use Windows Phone, Microsoft can't be bothered: Security app is iOS, Android only

Microsoft has introduced a new authentication method for logging into its online accounts: rather than remember and type in a complex password, use an app on your smartphone to confirm it's really you logging in and not some miscreant. That's great news because it should thwart the vast majority of attempts by hackers to …

      Did you have to type in a password? This latest version (for iOS and Android) skips the password part.

      In any case, kiss goodbye to further app updates. Microsoft doesn't care.

        My WP authenticator got updated very recently and does have the 'accept' button in the sample images. I only use the authenticator to log into Lastpass usually because the PC never logs me out of the MS system.

        I couldn't get a login attempt to prompt me to use the mobile Accept thing though although, since it is on the samples I presume it is an active feature.

        As I said, I use it so never that it is kinda meaningless for me and typing the six digits is almost as fast anyway.

      Now if Only I could easily buy one... MS really screwed the pooch on this... They made a decision to base the OS UI/UX on a platform with little share and few choices...

      And they doubled down with Modern UI continuing though EVERYONE hated it and EVERY Adreno could do limited AERO, not to mention the latest Intel/AMD/nVidia GPUs for tablets and 2 in 1s...

      With the WM version you still need to log in with your password before confirming with your phone. The iOS and Android versions just let you confirm with your phone without any need for a password.

      The WM version is more secure... logging in requires something you have and know, versus the other two versions that just use something you have (don't get it stolen).

      There's a lot of two factor authentication that isn't that, what they mean is they've just shifted authentication to your phone.

      But the fact that MS couldn't be arsed to update the app means WM is still dead.

                Please be specific, as every phone I have ever seen, HTC, Samsung, Nexus, Sony, until you unlock the bootloader (which doing so turns it into a untrusted device that will fail dmverify and prevent you using most banking apps, Android Pay and stuff like that), until you unlock the bootloader, you can't just root using adb... If you can, it's using some exploit and again, dmverify will have detected the chain of trust is broken.

                This isn't even remotely similar to your claims. On Windows, you can swap out a hacked DLL, and Windows is oblivious to it unless you invoke a scan to check things. Read up and dmverify and you will seen it's not even remotely similar.

        The latest Android and iOS versions don't require a password. From the Microsoft blog post:

        'Here in the identity division at Microsoft, we don’t like passwords any more than you do! So we’ve been hard at work creating a modern way to sign in that doesn’t require upper and lowercase letters, numbers, a special character, and your favorite emoji. And after a soft launch last month, we’re excited to announce the GA our newest sign-in feature: phone sign-in for Microsoft accounts!

        With phone sign-in, we’re shifting the security burden from your memory to your device. Just add your account to the Android or iOS Microsoft Authenticator app, then enter your username as usual when signing in somewhere new. Instead of entering your password, you’ll get a notification on your phone. Unlock your phone, tap “Approve”, and you’re in.'

          hmmm. Personally, I'd rather have 2FA actually consist of two factors. The way it sounds now, someone could steal my phone and login to my account without issue (assuming I don't have the phone protected with a pin/password). If I do have my phone protected with a pin or password, how is that different from entering the password to sign into my Microsoft account? It's not like I need my Microsoft account password to be 20 characters long if I have 2FA enabled.

          This sounds like a solution without a problem.

            Actually, it sounds more like a solution destined to become a problem.

            I have about admin 15 accounts on systems which are 2FA enabled because that is so simple and cheap to do it is hard to argue not to, and all of these are IN ADDITION to a username/password combo. The logons for that are held in Google Authenticator, OTP Auth (a paid for and well worth app) as well as in a browser which gets used if I visit a site I set up using code from https://github.com/gbraad/gauth/ (that just processes the data, the secret is held in your browser).

            Why? Well, that's why it is called TWO factor authentication. Just having a phone makes it ONE factor authentication again because most phones don't really have that great access control because typing in a proper passphrase for access is (a) tedious and (b) annoying like hell if you have to do that 20x in a day.

            Granted, it is Microsoft so bad security is not exactly news. If there is one thing I have been consistently overwhelmed with when it comes to decades worth of Microsoft it's their approach to and knowledge of security. QED again, I'd say.

              The problem is that approach is FAR weaker than a password because a PIN gives you a couple of tries and you're locked out for a bit (or you nuke the phone in the process), whereas you can probably find the fingerprint you need on the actual shiny phone itself. It means you're back to 1FA.

    While disregarding the Windows Mobile market, remember

    - 1% of the SmartPhone market is still ~ 10's of millions of users ~= the size of Apple's user base in the mid 1990's.

    - The wealthier / corporate 1% end of the marketplace is more lucrative than the bottom (roughly) ~10% of the consumer marketplace.

    - The SmartPhone market is really several different markets as users have different needs, so the best OS for one user is not necessarily the best for another.

      One of Microsoft's problem in mobile is because it _has_ continually re-invented itself and has dumped its previous products. Windows Mobile 6.x was completely dumped when MS re-invented itself as Windows Phone 7. This was dumped, including all the hardware and most of the software, when it re-invented itself as WP8. Most of the WP8 phones have now been dumped. But the real problem is that the complete development process has been re-invented at each stage so that developers have given up after having their development processes dumped several times

      If you add in Servers, Embedded devices, IoT, etc etc then Windows becomes a statistical error margin.

      Does it matter? Nope.

      Windows Phone is nowhere near 5%, it's way less than half a percent. The issue is, Windows Phones are still for sale, the Windows phone supporters were fairly loyal and Microsoft have basically said our phone strategy is still alive keep buying into it, at the same time they are also saying, our phone customers are not important and so we're not going to spend any effort on developing for them - even a simple app like this.

      Its arguable that WP ever got to 5% worldwide marketshare, I thought it was more like 3-4%, but regardless even 5% is a small percentage. At WP peak it was niche like Linux, the problem is that since then, its little marketshare has collapsed to literally nothing. No one at this point could argue it hasn't been a total failure. Microsoft has spent umpteen billions, even going so far as to buy Nokia, and all its left with are unhappy ex-customers and unhappy ex-developers.

      That is in contrast to desktop Linux that is organically growing, ever so slightly, year upon year, despite having no mega-corp advertising and pushing its adoption. We've had multiple "year of Linux" but the people that were joking about "year of Linux" were looking in the wrong direction.

          I think you would have to question who would be doing the worrying. Being open-source I would have to guess that the developers would generally be more altruistic rather than megalomaniac. The people that are using it must like using it as the usage is climbing rather than dropping like desktop Windows. Its a niche that people enjoy developing and using.

          I think for it to really compete against Windows on the desktop it would need a large company with deep pockets to market it to home users, for I time I thought that might be Cannonical, but they seem to be content to be going in their own direction and experimenting rather than focusing on providing and marketing an attractive alternative to Windows.

      It probably wouldn't be a failure if it had ever been 5%. It is currently much less than 1%. It is a total failure because at one time Microsoft smartphones had 42% of the US market and have been going downwards since in spite of throwing billions at them and never making a profit. Microsoft also killed off several potential competitors: Symbian, Asha, Maemo/Meego (N9, N900), Meltemi, Nokia-X, WebOS; but it didn't help their marketshare.

      > but a 2% desktop OS share for Linux is considered to be the impending year of linux on the desktop.

        Exactly, so all the developers who wrote for WM6.x and had to dump all their work to start again for WP7, and then had to rewrite for WP8, will now have to dump their work again and start afresh - of go to a more stable environment such as Android, or iOS if they haven't already.

    Nothing to see here

    As a fairly long time windows mobe user Ive gotten used to getting a regular "fuck you" from Microsoft. With the Lumia 950 disaster I'm carrying, I too have had enough and will never user another windows mobile device again.

    The real Nokia Lumia 710 I had as my first mobe was awesome. the (still fairly real Nokia) Lumia 1020 I had as a successor was even better. The 950 I got after that has been so horrible, that I can hardly believe it's from the same line of devices (it isn't really, as it's the first and probably only one branded as Microsoft)

    Loyal customers have been "rewarded" with a steaming pile of shit really.

    Way to alienate your customers!

    When the news came out that new Nokia branded phones with Android were coming, I did a little dance!

      Same here - I'm holding out for the top end Nokia Android model - what a combination.

      It's puzzling to see why Microsoft failed so catastrophically in mobile with such a visionary guru running the show.

    Not as bad as

    When new apps come out for iPhone/iPad only.

    Like the new UK airspace flight tracker from NATS.

    Previously had a Windows 8 phone that I used for several years. Dropped it and broke the screen. Replaced it with a Windows 10 phone. Bought another Windows 10 phone for my SO. We are both happy with the phones. We use them for talking, texting and a few apps. We don't put our lives on the phone. Maybe that is why we don't seem to have any problems.

    Xamarin?

    Don't Microsoft own Xamarin - which touts it's cross-platform dev chops - as well as build apps using React and Electron ... so this is an example of them not doing what they're trying to get other developers to do

    Windows Phones is OS/2 all over again

    From a technically strong (if not necessarily "better") code base, definitely/possibly/maybe/okay no on running Android apps, to being "platform agnostic", to supporting their competitor's operating systems before/instead of their own, Microsoft is take the same steps that IBM took to make OS/2 a success back in 1992-1995.

    OS/2 hung on, up to about 2000 for die-hard hangers on, but by 1995 is was all but over. The same thing's true for WinPhone.

    And I say this sadly as a happy Nokia 520 owner.

    Still useable

    Still a good mobile OS without certain apps, such a shame they went with a myriad of cheap models instead of big shiny headliners sub £500.

    All you haters can keep on hating. Microsoft keeps on posting big gains and big numbers.
