As of May 2, 2025, Microsoft will introduce a default passwordless mode for all newly registered accounts, leveraging advanced login methods like Passkey and push notifications. The company has unveiled a streamlined login interface that prominently features the passwordless option, enhancing user experience and simplifying the authentication process. Boasting a user login success rate of 98%, Passkey significantly outperforms traditional password-based systems. To underscore this shift, Microsoft has renamed "World Password Day" to "World Passkey Day" and aims to vigorously promote Passkey technology over the next year. With daily Passkey registrations nearing 1 million, it's evident that consumers are increasingly embracing passwordless authentication methods.
