About this tag
Token theft prevention is a critical security focus in Windows 11, addressed by Microsoft's new Administrator Protection feature. This feature aims to replace traditional User Account Control (UAC) to defend against credential theft attacks, which occur at a high rate—nearly 39,000 per day. Administrator Protection redefines how administrative privileges are managed, reducing the risk of identity-based breaches caused by UAC misconfigurations. The feature was unveiled at Microsoft Build 2025 and represents a significant shift in Windows security, balancing productivity with robust protection against token theft and stolen credentials.
