Register a Microsoft Entra passkey on Windows (preview)
This article shows how to register a Microsoft Entra passkey on Windows. A Microsoft Entra passkey on Windows is a device-bound passkey stored in the local Windows Hello container. Unlike synced passkeys, a passkey on Windows doesn't sync across devices — each device requires a separate passkey registration. This approach enables phishing-resistant sign-in with a Windows Hello biometric or PIN, without requiring the device to be Microsoft Entra joined or registered.
