San Francisco: Microsoft is testing a new feature Enhanced Phishing Protection that protects users from copying and pasting their Windows password into websites and documents. When Microsoft first introduced the new Windows Enhanced Phishing protection, it only alerted users when they manually typed their Windows password into a document or web login page.
Microsoft has now improved the phishing protection feature in Windows 11 Insider Dev build 23506 by detecting the copy and paste of a user's Windows password. "We are trying out a change starting with this build where users who have enabled warning options for Windows Security under App & browser control > Reputation-based protection > Phishing protection will see a UI warning on unsafe password copy and paste, just as they currently see when they type in their password," Microsoft said in a blogpost.
