For those who may not have read the article fully, Microsoft's existing traditional password management on mobile devices is not becoming unavailable, but is being moved from the Authenticator App to Microsoft Edge.

I had this warning show up in the iOS Authenticator app like last week or something and it guides you through changing your iOS settings to instead use Edge as a password manager. As Edge is my browser of choice on my Windows PC and I already had it installed on iOS, this was a very minor inconvenience for me.

It's worth mentioning that even though I almost exclusively use Safari as a web browser on my iOS device, when filling in passwords on websites it seamlessly allows you to use any iOS configured password manager including Edge.

It's definitely a little weird that you now require Edge to also be installed for essentially the same functionally and Microsoft might be doing it to try push people to install Edge.
