What Are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a safer and easier way to sign in to apps and websites. Instead of typing a password, you can use Windows Hello to log in using your PIN, face recognition, or fingerprint. This makes signing in faster and safer.
Windows can save these passkeys on your device when you use Windows Hello. Once saved, you just need your face, fingerprint, or PIN to sign in.
