Microsoft has been on a mission to eliminate passwords and help people protect their data and accounts from threats. Watch this quick video showing how it works: Starting today, you can use a FIDO2 device or Windows Hello to sign in to your Microsoft account using the Microsoft Edge browser. Every month, more than 800 million people use a Microsoft account to create, connect, and share from anywhere to Outlook, Office, OneDrive, Bing, Skype, and Xbox Live for work and play. And now they can all benefit from this simple user experience and greatly improved security.

This combination of ease of use, security, and broad industry support is going to be transformational both at home and in the modern workplace. I’m so excited to share today’s news! We just turned on the ability to securely sign in with your Microsoft account using a standards-based FIDO2 compatible device-no username or password required! FIDO2 enables users to leverage standards-based devices to easily authenticate to online services-in both mobile and desktop environments. This is available now in United States and will roll out globally over the next few weeks. This post was updated to include information on the availability of password-less sign-in.
