Microsoft Enhances Passkey in Windows 11

Microsoft is bolstering security measures in Windows 11 by expanding support for passkeys, unique codes tied to specific devices like computers, tablets, or smartphones.

Passkeys offer heightened protection against data breaches, particularly shielding against phishing attacks that are unable to pilfer them for unauthorized access.

This move is seen as a more secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords, allowing users to employ personal identification numbers (PINs) or biometric authentication methods such as fingerprints or facial recognition for logging into websites and applications.

The Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23486 release in the Dev Channel introduces passwordless improvements, enabling users to sign in using passkeys and Windows Hello.

With the updated passkey experience, Windows users can now navigate to any passkey-supported app or website, creating and signing in using passkeys through the native Windows Hello experience. Once a passkey is generated, users can utilize Windows Hello features like face recognition, fingerprint scanning, or PIN entry for authentication.

Additionally, users have the option to complete the application logon process using their mobile phones. To implement passkeys on a Windows device, users can visit passkey-enabled websites such as bestbuy.com, ebay.com, or google.com.

The process involves creating a passkey in account settings, signing out, and then signing back in using the newly generated passkey. Passkey management is streamlined through a new dialog integrated into Windows settings, accessible via Settings > Accounts > Passkeys, allowing users to view, search, and delete saved passkeys as needed.

This initiative aims to enhance overall security and user experience by eliminating the need to remember and manage multiple passwords.
