How to set up a passkey for your Microsoft account

The article explains how to set up a passkey for a Microsoft account. Passkeys are a more secure alternative to traditional passwords, and Microsoft aims to have one billion users embrace them. The process involves going to the account settings, adding a new way to sign in or verify, and choosing from options like face, fingerprint, PIN, or security key. The passkey is then stored in the user's Microsoft account, rather than on their local device. For mobile devices, a QR code can be scanned to set up the passkey, and for security keys, they are inserted into the PC. The article emphasizes the importance of keeping the accounts where the passkeys are stored, such as iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager, secure with strong login credentials.
