Surprisingly, many of us pay quite little attention to the security of our Windows password, but it&#8217;s a good idea to stay vigilant about it. Microsoft has decided to make that easier to do by implementing Enhanced Phishing Protection in Windows 11.

Infiltrating just one computer could grant a hacker access to the whole network, and from there, it only gets worse. Combine that with the fact that many of us don&#8217;t use secure passwords on our work computers, and there may be a problem. While Microsoft is not addressing the security of the password itself, its new anti-phishing feature makes it easier to ensure that the password doesn&#8217;t fall into the wrong hands.

It comes with two settings, one for password reuse and one for password storage. &#8220;SmartScreen identifies and protects against corporate password entry on reported phishing sites or apps connecting to phishing sites, password reuse on any app or site, and passwords typed into Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft 365 apps,&#8221; Microsoft&#8217;s security product manager Sinclaire Hamilton told Bleeping Computer. When both options are enabled in Windows 11, the feature will warn you if you&#8217;re trying to store your password in an app such as Notepad.
