BERLIN: Microsoft is introducing passkeys for its Edge browser, saying Edge on Windows will let users store passkeys for passwordless sign-ins and synchronise them across multiple Windows devices.

The new feature, integrated into the browser’s password manager, will be rolled out gradually in Edge version 142 on Windows. A Microsoft account (MSA) is required.
