You can use Windows Hello today to sign in to any site that supports passkeys, and in the near future, you’ll be able to sign in to your Microsoft account with a passkey from an Apple or Google device.

Your biometric information never leaves the device and passkeys can even be synced across devices on the same platform – so you don’t need to enroll each device and you’re protected in case you upgrade or lose your device. Passkeys are fast, phish-resistant, and will be supported across leading devices and platforms. With passkeys, you can sign in to any supported website or application by simply verifying your face, fingerprint or using a device PIN. Passkeys are a safer, faster, easier replacement for your password.
It’s better for everyone if we just cut off their supply. Lots of attackers want your password and will keep trying to steal it from you. As Vasu Jakkal reported earlier today, there are over 921 password attacks every second.
Passwords have never been less adequate for protecting our digital lives. We also have some great updates coming to our passwordless solutions in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Windows that will expand passwordless to more use cases. These multi-device FIDO credentials, sometimes referred to as passkeys, represent a monumental step toward a world without passwords. Happy World Password Day! Today, I’m super excited to share some great news with you: Together, with the FIDO Alliance and other major platforms, Microsoft has announced support for the expansion of a common passwordless standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web consortium.
