Windows 10: If you created a passkey to login to your Microsoft account with Apple

Zen_337 · May 5, 2025 at 11:12 AM

If you created a passkey to login to your Microsoft account with Apple password and passkey feature, does it replace the password? Usually for other on my accounts using passkey, it does. But it seems for Microsoft, it doesn’t unless I got passwordless? I have a hacker trying to log in from various parts of the world unsuccessful login attempts shown from other places. I switched to my secondary less known email. That helps, but still have attempts. I may switch again. I still see login attempts from the hacker using password despite passkey set up. I think I know the answer, but I want to

Passkeys for Google Accounts are now available

For the first time, we’ve begun rolling out passkeys, the easiest and most secure way to sign in to apps and websites and a major step toward a “passwordless future.”

For some time we and others in the industry have been working on a simpler and safer alternative to passwords. While passwords will be with us for some time to come, they are often frustrating to remember and put you at risk if they end up in the wrong hands. Last year — alongside FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft — we announced we would begin work to support passkeys on our platform as an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. And today, ahead of World Password Day, we’ve begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms. They’ll be an additional option that people can use to sign in, alongside passwords, 2-Step Verification (2SV), etc. So maybe, by next year’s World Password Day, you won’t even need to use your password, much less remember it! What are Passkeys? Passkeys are a new way to sign in to apps and websites. They’re both easier to use and more secure than passwords, so users no longer need to rely on the names of pets, birthdays or the infamous “password123.” Instead, passkeys let users sign in to apps and sites the same way they unlock their devices: with a fingerprint, a face scan or a screen lock PIN. And, unlike passwords, passkeys are resistant to online attacks like phishing, making them more secure than things like SMS one-time codes. Over the past year we’ve shared updates on bringing passkey experiences to both Chrome and Android, which services like Docusign, Kayak, PayPal, Shopify and Yahoo! Japan have already deployed to streamline sign-in for their users. Starting today, this will be available as an option for Google Account users who want to try a passwordless sign-in experience. Passkeys for Google Accounts Today, passkeys for Google Accounts are available. You can try them out here and setting it up is easy. For Google Workspace accounts, administrators will soon have the option to enable passkeys for their end-users during sign-in. Of course, like any new beginning the change to passkeys will take time, that’s why passwords and 2SV will still work for Google Accounts. We look forward to helping people and others in the industry take this next leap to make signing in easier and safer with Google.

"Something went wrong. There was a problem signing in with your passkey"

Hello Dimitris,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

It sounds like you're experiencing a problem with the Passkey feature for Apple services. Passkeys are a more secure replacement for passwords, designed to prevent phishing and make signing in easier and safer. Your issue might be stemming from several potential causes. Here's what you can consider:

Update Your Devices: Ensure all your devices are updated to the latest versions of their operating systems. Sometimes, compatibility issues can cause problems with new features like Passkeys.

Browser Compatibility: Check if your browser supports Passkeys. While most modern browsers do, ensuring you're using a compatible and updated browser is crucial.

iCloud Keychain: Passkeys require iCloud Keychain to be enabled. Verify that iCloud Keychain is turned on in your iCloud settings.

Sign-in Settings: Go to your Apple ID settings and review your Passkey settings. Ensure that Passkeys are set up correctly and that your device is authorized.

Network Issues: Sometimes, network problems can interfere with authentication processes. Try switching networks or resetting your network settings.

Restart Your Device: A simple restart can sometimes resolve unexpected glitches, including issues with Passkeys.

Apple Support: If the problem persists, contacting Apple Support directly might be the best course of action. They can provide more targeted assistance, especially if there's a specific issue with your account or device.

Before reaching out to Apple Support, gather any error messages or codes you've received, as these can help diagnose the problem more effectively. Apple's support team is well-equipped to handle such issues and can guide you through more advanced troubleshooting steps if needed.

Hopefully, one of these suggestions helps resolve the issue you're facing with signing in using your Passkey.

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Best Regards
