microsoft passkeys

Microsoft passkeys are becoming a standard sign-in option for personal and work/school accounts on Windows. The process involves picking a device, choosing a storage location, and confirming with a biometric or PIN. Microsoft emphasizes sync, Windows Hello, and Microsoft Password Manager as the preferred on-ramp for most users, while still supporting hardware security keys and third-party credential managers. For Windows users, passkeys are no longer just theoretically supported but are becoming a normal part of account management.
