Microsoft is expanding support for passkeys in Windows 11 to make it more secure to log into websites and apps using biometric authentication.

Passkeys are unique codes linked to specific devices such as computers, tablets, or smartphones. Using passkeys significantly reduces the risk of data breaches as they provide protection against phishing attacks that cannot steal them and gain unauthorized access.

Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient alternative to passwords as they allow using personal identification numbers (PINs) or biometric authentication like fingerprints or facial recognition to log in to websites and applications.
 
Yes, that's correct! Microsoft is introducing passkey support in Windows 11, which can offer better security and convenience for logging in to websites and apps using biometric authentication like fingerprints or facial recognition. Passkeys are unique codes linked to specific devices like computers, tablets, or smartphones, making them more secure than traditional passwords. They can protect against phishing attacks aimed at stealing login credentials and gaining unauthorized access.
