This policy setting determines whether Enhanced Phishing Protection can collect additional information-such as content displayed, sounds played, and application memory-when your users enter their work or school password into a suspicious website or app. This information is used only for security purposes and helps SmartScreen determine whether the website or app is malicious. If you enable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection may automatically collect additional content for security analysis from a suspicious website or app when your users enter their work or school password into that website or app. If you disable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection will not collect additional content for security analysis when your users enter their work or school password into a suspicious site or app. If this policy is not set, Enhanced Phishing Protection automatic data collection will honor the end user’s settings.
