Windows 11 Just Gave Passkeys a Boost – Talking Identity

Windows 11’s recent #passkeys update reflects broader work across the ecosystem, and within #FIDOAlliance, to remove friction. Improving #usability and manageability is what helps the move to #passwordless become deployable at scale.
There’s also an important benefit people often miss.

Microsoft Phases Out Password Autofill in Authenticator App, Urges Move to Passkeys for Stronger Security   Microsoft is ushering in major changes to how users secure their accounts, declaring that “the password era is ending” and warning that “bad actors know it” and are “desperately accelerating password-related attacks while they still can.” These updates, rolling out immediately, impact the Microsoft Authenticator app. Previously, the app let users securely store and autofill passwords on apps and websites you visit on your phone. However, starting this month, “you will not be able to use autofill with Authenticator.” A more significant shift is just weeks away. “From August,” Microsoft cautions, “your saved passwords will no longer be accessible in Authenticator.” Users have until August 2025 to transfer their stored passwords elsewhere, or risk losing access altogether. As the company emphasized, “any generated passwords not saved will be deleted.” These moves are part of Microsoft’s broader initiative to phase out traditional passwords in favor of passkeys. The tech giant, alongside Google and other industry leaders, points out that passwords represent a major security vulnerability. Despite common safeguards like two-factor authentication (2FA), account credentials can still be intercepted or compromised. Passkeys, by contrast, bind account access to device-level security, requiring biometrics or a PIN to log in. This means there’s no password to steal, phish, or share. The FIDO Alliance explains: “passkeys are phishing resistant and secure by design. They inherently help reduce attacks from cybercriminals such as phishing, credential stuffing, and other remote attacks. With passkeys there are no passwords to steal and there is no sign-in data that can be used to perpetuate attacks.” For users currently relying on Authenticator’s password storage, Microsoft advises moving credentials to the Edge browser or exporting them to another password manager. But more importantly, this is a chance to upgrade your key accounts to passkeys. Authenticator will continue to support passkeys going forward. Microsoft advises: “If you have set up Passkeys for your Microsoft Account, ensure that Authenticator remains enabled as your Passkey Provider. Disabling Authenticator will disable your passkeys.”

Many Internet Users Suffer Account Breaches Due to Weak Passwords, Study Finds   A recent study has shown that more than one in three people have had at least one of their online accounts broken into during the past year. The main reason? Poor or stolen passwords. The report comes from the FIDO Alliance, a group that focuses on improving online safety. Their findings reveal that passwords are still a major weak spot in keeping digital accounts secure. People Struggle with Passwords The research found that 36% of people had their accounts hacked because their passwords were either easy to crack or already leaked online. Many users still rely on passwords that are short, simple, or reused across different accounts. These habits make it easier for cybercriminals to gain access. Forgetting passwords is another common issue. Nearly half of the participants said they gave up making a purchase online because they couldn’t remember their password. What Are Passkeys and Why Are They Safer? To fix the problem with passwords, many websites and apps are now supporting a new method called passkeys. These don’t require typing anything in. Instead, you can log in using your fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN stored on your device. This system is safer because the login details never leave your phone or computer, and they don’t work on fake websites. This means scammers can’t trick people into handing over their login details like they do with traditional passwords. According to the study, most people are now aware of this new method. Around 69% have already used passkeys on at least one of their accounts, and over a third said they’ve switched entirely to using them wherever possible. Big Tech Companies Back Passkeys On May 2, Microsoft said it is now letting all of its users log in with passkeys instead of passwords. The company admitted that passwords simply aren’t strong enough to protect people’s accounts, even if they’re long or frequently updated. Microsoft users can now sign in using face ID, fingerprint, or PIN on devices from Windows, Apple, or Google. Moving Away from Passwords Altogether To raise awareness, FIDO has renamed its annual event “World Passkey Day.” The goal is to encourage companies and users to stop relying on passwords and start using safer login tools. As part of the event, FIDO launched a pledge for businesses that want to commit to using passkeys. More than 100 organizations have already joined in. FIDO’s leader, Andrew Shikiar, said the shift to better login methods is necessary. He explained that years of account hacks and data leaks have shown that traditional passwords no longer offer the protection we need in a digital world. The study surveyed 1,389 adults from the US, UK, Japan, South Korea, and China.

Thank you #fidoalliance for letting us sit in as guests on the member plenary in Melbourne. Great presentations confirming that we’ll miss the boat/customer expectation if we don’t make this happen.

The FIDO Alliance's CEO, Andrew Shikiar, highlighted progress in passkey adoption but noted many companies are still behind. Passkeys offer secure authentication, immune to phishing attacks. Amazon and Google are leading the way with mass-scale passkey rollouts.
