Windows 11: Soon you can use ‘Windows Hello’ to sign-in to websites without passwords

Last year, Apple, Google, and Microsoft jointly announced to bring passwordless sign-in on devices in 2023.

While Google and Apple have already started to test the new security feature, Microsoft has finally set the ball rolling, starting with Windows 11-based PCs.

Microsoft has released the new Insider Preview Build (23486) for developers and the latest update brings a passwordless sign-in option.

It should be noted that the passwordless sign-in is based on Web Authentication (WebAuthn) specification, a global standard set by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the FIDO (Fast ID Online) Alliance.
