“Passwordless login represents a massive shift in how billions of users, both business and consumer, will securely log in to their Windows 10 devices and authenticate to Azure Active Directory-based applications and services.”
How does passwordless work?
Passwordless authentication is made possible by the new FIDO2 open authentication standard co-authored by Yubico and Microsoft, along with members of the FIDO Alliance.
Single factor (passwordless):
authenticator + touch/tap
Replaces weak passwords with a hardware authenticator for strong single factor authentication.
Multi-factor (passwordless):
authenticator + touch/tap + PIN
Multi-factor with combination of a hardware authenticator with user touch and a PIN, to solve high assurance requirements such as financial transactions, or submitting a prescription.

Defend against account takeovers
No more passwords means remote attackers can’t phish user credentials, or use other modes of attack. Only the physical possession of the device is required for access.
Easy integration for developers
Developers can easily integrate passwordless login flows to web and mobile apps and services.
