All new Microsoft accounts will go password-less by default for enhanced safety and convenience.
Passkeys, which are digital keys protected by biometric locks, will be used for logging into Microsoft accounts.
Users with existing Microsoft accounts can switch entirely to passkeys by deleting saved passwords and using biometric authentication.
Passkeys can be created using cryptography techniques and are supported across various platforms like Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and browsers like Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
