Microsoft is celebrating World Password Day (IT folks deserve holidays, too!) by helping to kill them. The company has finally rolled out<\/a> consumer passkey support for Microsoft accounts, nearly two years after Apple<\/a> and Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you set it up, the passkey lets you sign into your Microsoft account using your face, fingerprint or device PIN. It works not only on Windows but also on Apple and Google\u2019s mobile and desktop platforms.<\/p>\n

Passkeys are an easier and more secure way to access your account. They use what\u2019s called a cryptographic key pair to ensure only you can get in. One half of the pair is stored on your local device, only accessible via your secure local login. The other part stays on the app or website. Requiring both of them to sign in acts as a deterrent for things like password leaks and phishing attacks.<\/p>\n

In addition to Apple, Google and now Microsoft, companies adopting passkeys include Amazon, 1Password, Dashlane, Docusign, eBay, PayPal and WhatsApp (among others). Google said on Thursday that its passkeys have already been used a billion times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s passkey support works starting today on the company\u2019s desktop apps and websites, including Microsoft 365 (Office) and its Copilot AI assistant<\/a>. The Windows maker says passkey support for its mobile apps \u201cwill follow in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can get started by signing into your Microsoft account here<\/a> and following the instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
