JAKARTA Passkey or password key is a new way to access features or applications without requiring a password. Many technology companies are interested in passwords, including Microsoft Through its official blog, Microsoft says that they have launched password key support for Microsoft account users. By launching this new capability, users can easily and safely access Microsoft services. Before Microsoft launched a password key, the company realized an increase in password attacks. For nearly a decade, password attacks spiked up to 3.378 percent to reach 4,000 cases every second. This finding shows that password attacks are very popular and popular with hackers. Therefore, Microsoft decided to switch to code keys that are considered much safer and have fewer risks. "It's very clear that passwords aren't enough to protect our lives online. No matter how long and complicated you create passwords, or how often you change them, it still poses risks," Microsoft said.

Password keys are an effective way to access digital accounts. Compared to creating, remembering, and entering passwords, users can access accounts through biometric verification such as faces, fingerprints, or non-biometrics in the form of device PINs. Microsoft explains that password key support has been added to Microsoft accounts used on Windows, ChromeOS, and macOS platforms. Users can already use their features if they have been added to your computer device. Currently, password key support can be used to log in to Microsoft's application or website. Although the support is only available on computer devices for now, Microsoft plans to add code key support to the phone.
