A MAJOR app will be wiping millions of passwords and payment details in just weeks.
Brits have just weeks to swap away from the service in order to save their details.

Microsoft is axing the Authenticator app’s password storing service in July.
In just a few days, saved passwords won’t be available to appear in the autofill function.
Weeks after that change, all saved payment information will be wiped from the Authenticator.
In August, all passwords will be deleted from the app.
In order to retain their payment and password details, Brits will need to swap to the Microsoft Edge app – where their details can be synced over.
Edge can be set as your device’s autofill provider by selecting it in your settings.
Microsoft Authenticator first launched in 2016 and began enabling password storage in 2020.
Although this service has now come to an end, Authenticator will continue to provide some other functions.
It will support passkeys, which uses a PIN, fingerprint or face scan to log into some accounts.
The news comes after Microsoft axed another iconic feature – though that comes as welcome news to some users.
The blue screen of death is famed for filling users with dread, as it marked that a user’s computer had run into a major issue.
The frowning face and QR code will also no longer appear if your computer crashes.
Users on social media cried that this marked the “end of an era”.
One user wrote: “The Blue Screen of Death is dying for one last time and Windows crashes just won’t be the same ever again!”
Another said: “But… I was literally just getting used to it.”
Microsoft hopes that axing the feature will speed up waiting times for its users, with the brand hoping that it will enable computers to reboot quicker.

Each episode of the show will see the actor and TV presenter joined by a showbiz pal as they explore the best countryside pubs and walks to retreat to across four different counties.
Across the series, the host and his celebrity mates will explore trails in Yorkshire, Kent, Monmouthshire and Shropshire.
As well as sampling the finest beers and fresh British air, the walks will provide a chance for interesting conversation and tales from the celebrity world.
Top Gear and The Grand Tour star James May is one of the stars who has signed up for the show.
He will join Alexander on a pub walk when the series launched on Channel 4 sister channel, More4.
Also on the series is comedian and Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland and the nation’s favourite funnyman, Sir Lenny Henry.
Rounding out the guests will be Springwatch star and wildlife presenter, Chris Packham.
Speaking about the series, host Alexander said: “Nothing beats a walk in a beautiful landscape, a good pub, a pint and a great chat.
“Filming Perfect Pub Walks has been a complete delight, topped off by some fantastic conversations with four terrific icons.”
Clemency Green, the commissioning editor for Channel 4, added: “Perfect Pub Walks is a beautiful series exploring stunning areas of the UK, as well as delving into a variety of topics and issues that come up in conversation between our brilliant host and his array of wonderful guests.”
It is another show to add to Alexander’s belt in addition to fronting Pointless which we revealed last year had been handed a further celebrity series as well as an 18th regular edition.

MILLWALL fans have the chance to buy a piece of history in a rare auction that will see parts of the Den – including dugout seats – sold.
The Lions are currently in the early stages of a phased redevelopment of their stadium, the Den.

Fans can bid for seats from both the home and away dugoutsMillwallUnique items of memorabilia are available[/caption]
They eventually hope to expand the capacity of the ground from 20,000 to around 34,000 spectators, although a time scale is yet to be determined.
Now, with club officials looking to continue with some of the first steps, items from the Den are being auctioned off to fans.
Supporters can bid for several items from the stadium – including seats from both the home and away dugouts.
They can also buy signs from around the venue and even some trophies.
The 2015-16 Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Team of the Round shield is available, with bidding currently at £65.
A Millwall-branded trophy is also available for the same price as things stand on sportbidder.
Fans also have access to signed and framed shirts and photos, all with different bids.
There is even the chance to bid for items from club lounges along with stadium maps and seating plans.

The auction is currently open and will close at 10am BST on July 8.
Discussing the process, Luke Wilson, Millwall’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Each lot is steeped in the history and legend of the club, but it must be every fan’s dream to own one of the dugout seats.
“Famous managers such as Neil Harris and Gary Rowett, plus popular players like Jed Wallace, Jake Cooper and Steve Morison sat on them as they watched the action on the pitch, either after coming off themselves or as they prepared to go on.”
He continued: “The auction provides three specific solutions for the club and the fans.
“Firstly, it allows us to repurpose club property – much of it unique – in a creative way so that it is not wasted.
“Secondly, it provides a unique opportunity for fans to acquire genuine Millwall FC memorabilia direct from The Den that they would otherwise not be able to get their hands on.
“And lastly, it will raise money for us to reinvest in the club itself. It’s the ideal outcome.”

THIS is the moment a surfer is headbutted by a flying shark in a jaw-dropping encounter in Florida.
Wild footage shows Darren Kaye calmly sitting on his board when a spinner shark explodes from the water in a twisting leap.
A surfer was headbutted by a flying shark while catching waves in FloridaInstagramThe shark leaped from the water and hit Darren Kaye clean off his surfboardInstagramShocked Kaye said: ‘I was just really happy its mouth wasn’t open’ after the terrifying encounterChannel 9 News /instagram
The animal smashed straight into his head, knocking him clean off his board at New Smyrna Beach.
The clip captured the fast-moving predator launching into the air like a missile – a signature move for spinner sharks during feeding frenzies.
After the terrifying hit, Kaye told local outlet WFTV 9: “I was just really happy its mouth wasn’t open.”
New Smyrna Beach, northeast of Orlando, is infamous for shark sightings – and Kaye said he had seen plenty of fins slicing through the surf before.
What he didn’t expect was an aerial ambush.
“I got right back on that board and my pulse went to like 195 beats a minute in a second and I paddled as fast as I could out of the way,” he said.
The impact, he added, was no joke: “I have a scar on the side of my elbow from [being hit by a car] and that’s like what it felt like. It felt like getting hit by a car.
“It was really strong and powerful. They’re all muscle, you know.”
While spinner sharks aren’t typically aggressive, the beach is also home to black tip sharks – and the notorious bull shark, one of the most dangerous to humans.
Still, the brush with Jaws didn’t scare Kaye off the waves.
“We surfed there the rest of the weekend, we surfed there this morning, we surfed there yesterday afternoon,” the surfer said.
“We always have waves. We are lucky.”
The video, which was also posted on Instagram, quickly lit up the comments.
One user wrote: “That’s wild!”
Another chimed in: “I got hit by one at inlet while up riding a wave. Thought it broke my arm when I put it up to block the impact.”
A third added: “Had this happen to me at Navarre Pier.
“It hit my foot hard on its way out of the water and still landed next to my board. Fun moment, kept surfing.”
And another person commented: “Some of them get pretty big. Saw a 4-5 footer hop out today.”
With summer heating up, so is shark season on the East Coast.
Earlier this month, a 9-year-old girl nearly lost her hand in a more typical shark attack in Florida, and days later, a beachgoer in South Carolina was airlifted to the hospital after being mauled near Hilton Head Island.
But Kaye’s mid-air run-in proves you don’t even need to be in the water to have a close encounter with one of the ocean’s most fearsome predators.

STEPH McGovern revealed the chilling moment that forced her to take action against a deranged stalker.
The television star, 43, appeared on today’s This Morning and revealed her stalker experience has influenced part of her debut novel, Deadline.
ITVSteph McGovern opened up about her stalker ordeal[/caption]
Telling hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley about her ordeal, Steph explained that the man never caused her harm but his delusions became increasingly concerning.
The man fell in love with her, believing she was addressing him directly through the TV screen whenever she was speaking to viewers in general.
It all got too much when he somehow got hold of her parents’ address and wrote to her dad asking for permission to marry her.
She explained: “My dad rang me and said, ‘Steph, who’s this fella you’re seeing?’
“He talked to my dad about being in a relationship with me and he kind of asked for my hand in marriage.”
When Ben revealed his surprise that the man had managed to get the address, Steph continued: “That’s what freaked me out. At that point it’s very different from having someone being there at broadcasting things to finding your parents address and writing to them.
“That panicked me because I thought my mum and dad are going to be dead worried here.
“That’s when it all kicked in and the BBC security team did their thing.”
No charges were ever brought against the stalker.
Steph has been busy ever since Channel 4 axed her daytime show, Steph’s Packed Lunch, in December 2023.
Not only has she written a novel, she also starred in Bear Grylls‘ hit Netflix reality show, Celebrity Bear Hunt.
Medics scrambled to help her as she helplessly hung from her safety harness while host Holly Willoughby watched on with concern.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun earlier this year, Steph said: “We had these amazing medics and everything. There was a moment where I literally fell off a cliff and smashed into a wall.
“You will see, it was pretty scary. When I got pulled back off the cliff, I saw everyone’s face and I thought, ‘oh’, and then Holly is like, ‘Oh my goodness’.
“I was just hanging there looking at… There was blood dripping off my face.
“I didn’t overthink it. I just thought, they’re not going to let me die.
“It was fine, it wasn’t a big deal, it wasn’t broken. They were just kind of checking me that I didn’t have a concussion. I was a bit mad. You know these things sometimes that look more dramatic than they actually are?”
In difficult-to-watch moments, Steph fell from a ledge during a challenge and swung towards the sheer rockface.
The impact was heavy and she repeatedly shouted “Ow!”.
Co-star Big Zuu could be heard asking if she was alright as Holly reassured him medics were on their way to help.

BRITISH drug mule suspect Bella Culley was tortured into trafficking £200,000-worth of cannabis by evil crimelords, a court heard today.
Bella, 18, said a brutal Thai trafficker held her arm under a jet of steam to force her to fly with 31lb of cannabis to the former Soviet state of Georgia.

FacebookThe Brit told a court she was tortured into trafficking £200,000-worth of cannabis by evil crimelords[/caption]
East2WestBella has now been locked up for six weeks in Georgia[/caption]
The teenager showed off a vivid snake-like scar to the court in the capital of Tbilisi as she insisted she never touched the drugs she is accused of trafficking.
She was seen breaking down in tears alongside members of her family as a Georgian judge rejected her plea.
After six weeks banged up in a hellhole jail following her arrest, Bella told the hearing: “I didn’t want to do this – I was forced under torture.
“I just wanted to travel, I just want to live with my family – I am a loving person, I am studying at the university to become a nurse.
“All I wanted to do was travel but bad things happened.”
The tearful teen, looking downcast in a pink shirt with her hair in a bun, added: “I don’t do drugs, as you can see in my blood tests, I am clean. I always wanted to make my family proud.”
Bella from Billingham, County Durham, claimed baggage containing the cannabis was carried to the airport for her and put in the plane’s hold when she boarded a flight from Bangkok in May.
Her family launched a missing person hunt in Thailand after she vanished on holiday but she turned up under arrest 4,000 miles away in the European nation.
Then on her first court appearance she announced she was pregnant.
Her baby bump had visibly grown in the latest court appearance as she was supported by her 39-year-old oil rig worker father Niel.
Bella told her family she was flying to meet a boyfriend in the Far East on a backpacking holiday, the court heard.
It has also come out that the father of her child is from the UK.
Her aunt Kerri Culley was in court and sobbed as evidence was presented.
Bella’s lawyer Malkhaz Salakaia said corrupt Thai cops had been in on the plot and stopped the Brit from trying to raise the alarm before she flew to Georgia.
Mr Salakaia said she went to a police officer to show him the burns to her arm – but he took her to another officer who turned out to be a member of the drugs gang.
He argued that she should not stay in the tough No5 Women’s Penitentiary and requested bail.
Mr Salakaia said: “You’ll see her actual involvement with these charges in her own testimony that is coming shortly – she is innocent.
“Her emotional state exactly confirms that she was forced, I want to ask her to show the court her arm and you can see the burning scar.
“This scar occurred before she was “equipped” with her baggage, that she never even touched.”
The lawyer said Bella never saw the drug bag – which flew to Georgia via Sharjah in Abu Dhabi – until she was arrested for importing it.
He said: “From Thailand to Sharjah, from Sharjah to Thailand, this baggage was carried by a different person. She was only given a passport and told you go there and there.
“She tried to inform the passport control but was paid no attention. She even has no idea geographically where she is – she thought Tbilisi was a country.
“She was given a photo and was told to keep it and that she would be approached by certain people. This meeting didn’t happen because she was detained.
“Said has never taken drugs and tests carried out by police once she arrived in Georgia proved she was telling the truth.”
Bella’s family said they were willing to submit a bail surety of at least £13,400 to guarantee her return to court to face trial after her lawyer said she had travelled to Thailand with just £70 cash.
But Judge Lela Kalichenko rejected her plea for bail insisting the teeanger was a potential flight risk and was receiving all necessary medical care where in prison.
