"Under the guidance of the multi-vendor FIDO Alliance, the passkey standard -- considered a non-phishable type of login credential -- has been around for five years. However, the global shift to passkeys has been hindered by the immaturity of some supporting technologies in today's operating systems and devices, as well as in the various identity management systems used by relying parties."
"However, the rate of passkey adoption should receive a boost now that one of the barriers -- the lack of a widely available Microsoft-offered means to sync passkeys across Windows devices and installations of its Edge web browser -- is being removed. Microsoft's phased rollout began last week. According to Microsoft, the initial phase of the rollout has started with the ability to sync passkeys across installations of Edge version 142 (or above) running on Windows 10 devices and above."
Passkeys are a FIDO Alliance-backed, non-phishable login credential designed to replace passwords. Adoption has been slowed by immature supporting technologies in operating systems, devices, and identity management systems. Microsoft has begun a phased rollout to sync passkeys across Edge installations, starting with Edge version 142 (or above) on Windows 10 and later. Microsoft targets availability on Edge for iOS by the end of the calendar year, with Android and macOS to follow. No timetable has been provided yet for Edge support on Linux. The rollout removes a key barrier to broader passkey adoption.
