Bitwarden now lets users log into Windows 11 using passkeys. Bitwarden has announced support for logging into Windows devices using passkeys stored in the vault, enabling phishing-resistant authentication directly at the OS login screen. During login, Windows displays a QR code that users scan with their mobile device running the Bitwarden app, which confirms access to the stored passkey and completes authentication. Bitwarden serves as the passkey provider with passkeys kept in the user’s end-to-end encrypted vault and synchronized across devices, so users can recover access if their phone is lost, unlike device-bound passkeys. To use the feature the Windows device must be joined to Microsoft Entra ID, the organization must enable FIDO2 security key sign-in, and the user must have already registered a passkey for their Entra ID profile stored in their Bitwarden vault. By extending passkey authentication into the Windows sign-in flow, Bitwarden aims to reduce exposure to phishing and credential-theft attacks and close the gap between application authentication and operating system access. Microsoft says passkey-based Windows login will roll out throughout March and depends on an organization’s Entra ID configuration. Bitwarden passkey management is available across all Bitwarden plans, including the free tier.
