How to Manage Your Microsoft Account Passkeys

You can manage your Microsoft account passkeys by visiting the Advanced Security Options page within your Microsoft account settings.

Passkeys offer a passwordless way to sign into your Microsoft account using biometric data like your fingerprint or face, or a PIN, providing enhanced security. They act like a secure digital credential tied to your device.

You might need to manage your passkeys if you switch to a new phone or want to review your account’s security setup. For personal Microsoft accounts, this process is straightforward.

Start by navigating to account.live.com/proofs/manage and signing in. Scroll down the page to find the section dedicated to your passkeys, usually identifiable by a key icon.

For Your Personal Microsoft Account

You can manage passkeys for your personal Microsoft account by visiting your account’s security page, where all your sign-in methods are stored.

1. Go to the Advanced Security Options page. The fastest way is to go directly to this link: account.live.com/proofs/manage. Make sure you are signed in to the Microsoft account you want to manage.
2. Find your passkeys. Scroll down the page. You will see a list of ways to prove it’s you. Look for the passkey symbol. It often looks like a key. Your passkeys will be listed there.
3. Open the passkey section. Click on the passkey symbol or the area where your passkeys are shown. This will open up to show you more details about each passkey.
4. Look at the passkey details. For each passkey, you can see where it’s saved. This could be on your phone, a specific device, or a password manager. You can also see when it was last used. This helps you understand your security setup.
5. Change a passkey’s name. See an option to Rename? This is useful if you have many passkeys for the same service or device. It helps you know which is which. Click Rename and type a new name. This does not change how the passkey works, only how it appears here.
6. Delete a passkey you don’t want. If you no longer use a device or method, or if you got a new device, you should remove the old passkey. Click Remove next to the passkey you want to delete.
