Windows 11 now supports passkeys natively, integrating with 1Password and Bitwarden. This upgrade allows credential managers to create, save, and use passkeys across browsers and native applications.
Integration and Setup
Microsoft's new plugin provider capability facilitates this seamless integration. Setting up a credential manager is part of the passkey creation process, enhancing user security and convenience. Users authenticate credentials through Windows Hello using PINs, facial recognition, or fingerprints, ensuring access stays secure.
Collaboration and Availability
Bitwarden expressed enthusiasm in collaborating with Microsoft to bring this feature to Windows 11, enabling secure credential management across devices and platforms. Microsoft has started the feature's roll-out, aiming for broad availability with the Windows November 2025 security update.
