TL;DR
- Logging into the SwiftKey keyboard will require a Microsoft account starting in May.
- Existing user data will be migrated to OneDrive storage.
- You’re currently able to log into SwiftKey in a number of ways, including with your Google account.
Logging into popular third-party smartphone keyboard app SwiftKey will soon require a Microsoft account. The Microsoft-owned software keyboard is ditching non-Microsoft logins this spring, and the software giant is moving user data to its own OneDrive cloud storage.
As reported by Windows Central, Microsoft has been alerting SwiftKey users that the platform will transition to a Microsoft account-based model in May. After that date, you’ll only be able to log in using a Microsoft account. The keyboard currently lets users log in with a SwiftKey account, Microsoft account, a Google account, or an Apple account.
