Passkeys that are managed by phone or computer operating systems are automatically synced between the user’s devices via a cloud service. The cryptographic keys are used from end-user devices (computers, phones, or security keys) that are used for secure user authentication. They simplify account registration for apps and websites, are easy to use, work across all of a user’s devices, and even other devices within physical proximity.įrom a technical standpoint, passkeys are “discoverable” FIDO credentials for passwordless authentication. Unlike passwords, passkeys are resistant to phishing, are always strong, and are designed so that there are no shared secrets.
Sign out and open Microsoft Edge, select "use security key instead" and sign in by inserting or tapping your key and entering your PIN.Passkeys are a password replacement that provide faster, easier, and more secure sign-ins to websites and apps across a user’s devices.Name your security key so that you can distinguish it from other keys.Take the follow-up action by touching your security key.This PIN is stored locally on the security key-not with Microsoft accounts. You will then be prompted to set a unique PIN to protect your key.The public key is stored with the Microsoft service to allow for verification of your authentication. This generates a unique public-private key pair between your key and your Microsoft account, and only the key stores the private key. You will be redirected to the setup experience, where you will insert or tap your security key.Identify what type of security key you have (USB or NFC) and select Next.Then, click Security > More security options, and select Set up a security key.
Visit the Microsoft account page (opens in new tab) and sign in as you normally would.
