This shift means that anyone creating a new account will use passkeys or other passwordless authentication methods, such as Windows Hello, instead of traditional passwords.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why the Change?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Passwords have long been the weakest link in digital security, with issues like phishing, brute force attacks, and password reuse plaguing users and organizations alike. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2025\/05\/01\/pushing-passkeys-forward-microsofts-latest-updates-for-simpler-safer-sign-ins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft\u2019s research shows<\/a> that password-based attacks are rapidly increasing, with over 7,000 attacks per second observed in 2024. By eliminating passwords, Microsoft aims to drastically reduce the risk of account compromise.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Passkeys Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cryptographic Security<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/security\/identity-protection\/passwordless-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Passkeys are based on<\/a> public\/private key cryptography, with the private key stored securely on the user\u2019s device and the public key registered with Microsoft\u2019s servers[5][6][8].<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biometric and Device-Based Authentication<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/business\/security-101\/what-is-passkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Users can sign in<\/a> with facial recognition, fingerprint, PIN, or device unlock patterns-making the process both faster and more secure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seamless Experience<\/strong>: The new user interface detects the most secure method available and prompts users accordingly. After initial setup, users will be encouraged to enroll a passkey, which becomes their default sign-in method.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No More Passwords<\/strong>: New users will never need to create or remember a password. Existing users can also opt to delete their passwords from account settings, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windowsexperience\/2025\/04\/25\/copilot-pcs-are-the-most-performant-windows-pcs-ever-built-now-with-more-ai-features-that-empower-you-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fully embracing the passwordless future<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Industry and User Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This move aligns Microsoft with other tech giants like Apple and Google, who have also made passkeys the default for new accounts. Passkeys offer a 98% success rate for sign-ins, compared to just 32% for passwords, and are eight times faster to use. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/microsoft\/microsoft-makes-all-new-accounts-passwordless-by-default\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The transition is expected to<\/a> improve both security and usability for the more than 15 billion accounts that can now use passkeys worldwide.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A New Era for Surface and Microsoft Accounts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"337219\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/msftnewsnow.com\/compact-surface-copilot-pc-on-may-6th-passwordless\/microsoft-announces-may-6-event-will-we-see-new-compact-surface-pro-laptops\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=88&sharp=1&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=88&sharp=1&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=88&sharp=1&ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-337219\" src=\"https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=88&sharp=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"Microsoft to Launch Compact Surface Copilot+ PC on May 6th and Make All New Accounts Passwordless\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops-150x84.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/e7drz69p964.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Microsoft-announces-May-6-event-Will-we-see-new-compact-Surface-Pro-laptops.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=88&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the upcoming reveal of compact, AI-powered Surface Copilot+ PCs and the industry-leading shift to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/passkeys-overview-301c8944-5ea2-452b-9886-97e4d2ef4422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passwordless accounts<\/a>, Microsoft is doubling down on innovation in both hardware and security.
