From PC World: According to a Windows Insider blog post, Microsoft is currently testing a deeper integration of 1Password’s passkey feature in Windows 11. Passkeys are more secure than passwords, allowing you to log in using a combination of something you have (like a smartphone) and something you are (like your face or fingerprint).
Passkeys save you from having to remember lots of unique passwords and provide better protection against hackers. Microsoft is just one of many entities pushing for a passwordless future in favor of passkeys.
The 1Password integration is simple. You just have to install 1Password Beta, then enable 1Password as a plugin credential manager via Settings > Passkeys > Advanced options, and also complete user verification with Windows Hello (face, fingerprint, or PIN). Afterwards, you can use 1Password’s passkeys with and through Windows 11.
