Microsoft said today that the number of people who use its passwordless login solutions has now reached 150 million, up from 100 million reported last November at the Microsoft Ignite conference.

The number covers users of Microsoft online services like Azure, GitHub, Office, and Xbox, the company said, in a blog post celebrating World Password Day.

This includes users who employ Windows Hello (fingerprint and facial recognition) to access Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) networks, and users who employ the official Microsoft Authenticator app and FIDO2-based security keys to log into various online accounts without passwords.
