The passkey system is now supported in the Microsoft Edge web browser today. With passkey, the process of logging in to websites and various online services can be done as easily as scanning your face, fingerprint or using a pin. All passwords will be stored using Microsoft Password Manager.
It is supported on Microsoft Edge 142 on the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems first. Support for other operating systems will be provided in the future. The passkey system is built using the Fast IDentity Online 2 (FIDO2) security standard which ensures that it is safe to use. Microsoft provided passkey support a few days after WhatsApp provided passkey support for encrypting data backups to the cloud.
