system passkey provider

About this tag
The system passkey provider tag covers Windows 11's native support for third-party passkey managers like 1Password and Bitwarden. Passkeys are FIDO2/WebAuthn credentials that replace passwords with cryptographic key pairs unlocked by biometrics or PIN.

The tag includes discussion of MSIX builds, Microsoft's Password Manager integration, and security features like Azure HSM and Confidential Compute.
