How to Manage Your Microsoft Account Passkeys

Passkeys for a Microsoft account let you sign in using your fingerprint, face, or a phone screen lock instead of a standard password. These digital credentials link directly to your trusted hardware to keep your sign-in details safe from phishing scams.

You can add, delete, or check your saved sign-in keys at any time through the Advanced Security Options page in your Microsoft account settings. Cleaning up old devices or switching to a new phone takes only a few clicks.

For Your Personal Microsoft Account

You can manage Microsoft passkeys for your personal account by going to the Advanced Security Options page. Open your web browser, head to account.live.com/proofs/manage, and sign in with your account details. Once you are signed in, you can view, add, or remove all the passkeys saved to your account.

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.
