password-free login

Password-free login methods reduce reliance on traditional passwords by using alternatives like biometrics, security keys, or device-based authentication. On Windows, Microsoft Edge integrates password-free login through Windows Hello, enabling fingerprint or facial recognition for secure credential management. The browser's password manager can autofill credentials while supporting passwordless sign-ins where available. This approach balances convenience with security, though users should understand how their data is stored and protected. Topics covered include Windows Hello integration, two-factor authentication, and the shift toward passwordless authentication in Microsoft ecosystems.
