How to View Recent Passkeys Activity by Apps in Windows 11
Recent passkeys activity by apps in Windows 11 shows you every program that tries to create, use, or view your digital sign-in credentials. Passkeys are digital credentials that replace passwords using a fingerprint, face scan, or PIN for quick access to apps and websites.
Windows keeps this security history for the last 7 days so you can check which programs accessed your accounts. Open the Windows settings app to find this log and review recent sign-in actions on your PC.
Go to Settings, then Privacy & security, and click Passkeys. View recent passkey creation and usage activity under “Allow passkey access,” and recent passkey listing activity under “Allow passkey autofill.
Here’s How:
- Open Settings. You can do this by pressing the Win+I on your keyboard.
- On the left side, click or tap on Privacy & security. Then, on the right side, click or tap on Passkeys.
- Under the Allow passkey access section, click or tap on Recent activity. This will show you requests for passkey creation or usage from apps in the last 7 days.
- Under the Allow passkey autofill section, click or tap on Recent activity. This will show you requests from apps to list available passkeys in the last 7 days.
Checking your passkey activity windows 11 lets you see which apps and websites asked to use your saved passkeys over the last seven days.
