Windows giant extends passwordless tech to everyone else
Microsoft today said it will now let us common folk — not just commercial subscribers — sign into their Microsoft accounts and apps using passkeys with their face, fingerprint, or device PIN.Windows, Google, and Apple platforms, and Redmond described the move as a step closer to its 10-year dream:"A world free of passwords."
True to form, Google also marked the occasion by proclaiming that its year-old passkey support hit a milestone. Your device can secure that private key locally using something like a biometric face scan, a PIN, or a fingerprint. Thus if someone wants to break into your account, they'll need your device and that secret PIN or biometric scan to unlock the private key . This is seen as more secure than making people remember or store passwords, and ensures a unique key-pair per account.
