You can use a passkey to sign in to your UBalt Microsoft account and many other websites, apps and services.
How do I sign in using a passkey?
To use a passkey to sign in, you first need to create and save the passkey to a device or a synced credential manager (such as Microsoft Password Manager).
Once created, whenever you sign in, your device will prompt you to sign in with its secure method, for example, face, fingerprint, or PIN.
What to do if you're prompted "Create a passkey to sign in?"
