Microsoft releases Windows 11 23486 preview update: advancing password-free experience

News on June 23, Microsoft today released the Windows 11 Build 23486 preview update for Windows Insider project members in the Dev channel.

IT House hereby attaches the new features of Win11 Build 23486 preview version as follows:

Promoting passwordless experience

Microsoft believes that passwords will be completely replaced in future interactive experiences. Users no longer need to enter a password when logging into a website or application, and can achieve a passwordless experience through Passkeys.

Passkey has become a trend that not only simplifies the user login process to a website or app, but also makes it harder for bad actors to steal and use your credentials. Passkey not only has phishing protection and recovery capabilities, but is also faster and user-friendly.

Use Passkey to sign in to apps and websites

Microsoft is improving the Passkey experience for Windows users. Users can use Passkey to create and sign in to any supported website and app through a native Windows Hello experience.

After the user creates a Passkey, they can log in through Windows Hello verification methods such as face, fingerprint, and PIN. Additionally, users can complete the app login process using their mobile phones.

Create or log in to a Passkey on a Windows device:

Visit bestbuy.com, ebay.com, google.com
• Create a password from your account settings key.
• Log out of your account and log in using your key.

Use the previously saved Passkey on your phone:

Visit bestbuy.com, ebay.com, google.com
• From your account settings Create a key in .
• Go to the Windows version and log in using the key saved on your mobile device.

Manage existing Passkey

Microsoft provides the function of managing Passkey. Users can navigate to "Account>Settings">"Passkeys" to see the saved ones. Passkey list and search and delete any Passkey from it.
