How to Access and View Passkeys in Windows 11 Settings
You can access and view your passkeys stored in Windows 11 through the Settings app.
Passkeys are a modern, passwordless sign-in method that leverages your Windows Hello biometrics or PIN for secure authentication across apps and websites. Windows 11 automatically stores these unique credentials for each service you sign up for using a passkey.
This makes signing in faster and more secure than traditional passwords. For instance, a passkey stored in Windows 11 uses cryptographic keys, not simple text, to verify your identity.
Once you find them, you’ll see a list of all your saved passkeys, allowing you to manage or delete them as needed.
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.
Does 🪟 Windows 11 have passkeys?
Windows 11 now supports third-party passkey managers, meaning you're not locked into Microsoft Password Manager anymore. Passkeys are part of the FIDO standard, a newer authentication method that replaces passwords with secure, device-bound cryptographic keys.
