Microsoft installed phishing defense in Windows 11 Version 22H2 to help reduce the ongoing danger of identity fraud.
A phishing attempt frequently takes the shape of an email that closely resembles the real thing and leads the recipient to a bogus login page. The most convincing phishing attempts closely resemble the logos, language, and layout.
The Windows 11 software system includes improved phishing security that instantly recognises risk when users type their passwords into any app or website. According to a post by Microsoft, Windows can determine whether an app or website is secure and will alert users when it isn't.
Admins can better defend themselves against such exploits by being aware of when a password has been stolen. When Windows 11 defends against one phishing attack, the threat intelligence streams to defend other Windows users using other apps and websites that are also under attack.
Users are also advised to update their passwords. Once activated, it can alert users using Chrome or Microsoft Edge to potentially dangerous websites. The improved phishing protection function integrates with ones system's local PC account, Azure, or Microsoft Active Directory.
Compared to earlier releases, Windows 11 has greater security features. For maximum security, you will want to modify Windows Security in addition to biometrics like Windows Hello's facial recognition.
Enable BitLocker encryption on the system drive as well to safeguard your data. The user may occasionally need to turn Windows Security off and back on for a variety of reasons, even if utilising it is a no-brainer.
If users enter their password into a malicious website in any Chromium browser or in an app that connects to a phishing site, a blocking dialogue warning is presented asking them to change it.
Windows 11 alerts users that storing their password locally, such as in Notepad or any Microsoft 365 software, is risky and prompts them to delete the password from the file.
