Microsoft is rolling out a new sign-in and account creation experience that puts passkeys at the center.

Microsoft says it now blocks around 7,000 password-related attacks per second , nearly double the rate from last year .

A passkey is tied to your physical device and unlocked by something only you have.

Unlike a password, a passkey can’t be phished, guessed, or intercepted.
