Microsoft is making Windows 11 a lot friendlier to your favorite password manager. Windows 11 now supports third-party passkey managers, meaning you’re not locked into Microsoft Password Manager anymore.

Passkeys are part of the FIDO standard, a newer authentication method that replaces passwords with secure, device-bound cryptographic keys. Unlike passwords, passkeys can’t be phished, reused, or stolen from the cloud.
