How to Access and View Passkeys in Windows 11 Settings
Passkeys in Windows 11 are digital login keys stored right on your computer that let you sign in to websites and apps without a password. Instead of typing a password, you use your Windows Hello PIN, face scan, or fingerprint to unlock your accounts.
The Windows 11 Settings app saves all these keys in one place so you can view, check, or delete them whenever you want. Finding your stored login info takes just a few clicks in the main system menu without needing any extra software or apps.
Open Windows Settings , click Accounts, then select Passkey settings to view a list of all passkeys stored on your computer. You can manage or delete them from this screen.
