Microsoft introduces passkey support for consumer accounts to advance towards a passwordless future.

Users can authenticate using options like Face ID, Fingerprint, PIN, or Security Key instead of passwords.

The passkey update is being deployed across Apple, Google, and Windows platforms.

Mobile app access key support is expected to be available in the near future.

The industry trend is moving away from traditional passwords to more secure and user-friendly authentication methods.

Major tech companies such as Amazon and Google are also embracing passkeys, indicating a broader industry shift.
