You can finally use passkeys to log into your Microsoft account

For World Password Day, Microsoft is doing something I can appreciate: helping get rid of them. Today, the company said that all Microsoft consumer accounts will be passkey enabled. Adios, passwords!

What’s a passkey? It replaces passwords by combining something you have (such as a phone, a physical security key, or your password manager) with either something you know (a PIN number) or something you are, using biometric security. On Windows, that means using a fingerprint reader or webcam with Windows Hello.
