Manage your saved passkeys

Passkey management is handled within your passkey provider.

You can manage passkeys saved to Windows in Windows Settings.
Passkeys created for your Microsoft accounts can also be managed through your personal or work/school security dashboard.
For other synced credential managers, such as Microsoft Password Manager, go to the provider or service to manage passkeys stored there.

You can enable or disable the passkey services available on your Windows device by toggling them on or off. For example, if you want to have the option to save or use the passkeys stored locally on your device, turn on the option Save passkeys to this Windows device.

Caution:
- If you remove the passkey, you will no longer be able to use it to sign in to your Microsoft account.
- If you do need to remove a passkey, make sure you add new information first.
- If you remove of all security information in your account, the account is put into a restricted state for 30-days and your account doesn't change during this time. During the 30-day restriction period, we cannot accept further changes or additions to security settings or billing information. Your account is still open and active, and you can still use your email, OneDrive and devices as usual. While we understand this 30-day period might be frustrating, this is done to protect and alert you in case the security info was removed by someone who had unauthorized access to your account.

If you had any passkeys stored on an old device, and the device was replaced, you will need to add new passkeys. Once completed, you can safely remove any old passkeys from your account.

Note: If the passkeys were stored in a synced credential manager (such as Microsoft Password Manager, Google Password Manager, Apple iCloud Keychain or others), then you don't need to add a passkey for the new device. Just sign in with your credential manager account.
