Microsoft launches passkey support for all consumer accounts

Microsoft has expanded passkey support to all consumer accounts, enabling a passwordless sign-in option across Windows, Android, and iOS platforms. Users can now sign in using their face, fingerprint, PIN, or security key instead of a password. This move is part of Microsoft's broader effort to promote a passwordless future, building on its previous security developments like Windows Hello and support for FIDO security keys. Passkeys are becoming widely accepted, with major companies like Apple and Google also adopting the technology.
