Setup a Passkey

Note - there are two types of Passkeys that you're able to create. One is within Microsoft Edge, the other is with Microsoft Authenticator.  This guide will demonstrate the setup process for both.

Setup a passkey in Microsoft Edge

1. Navigate to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info 

2. After signing in, you should see a screen that looks like this. Click Next.

If you do not get the prompt, then on the security info page, click Add a sign-in method, then choose Passkey.

3. On this screen, click Next.

4. Microsoft Edge will then prompt to create a passkey. Click Create, and choose a PIN.

5. Give your passkey a recognisable name.

6. Passkey created.

Setup a passkey in Microsoft Authenticator

1. Navigate to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info and click Sign in.

2. After signing in, you should see a screen that looks like this. Click Next.

   

3. On this screen, click Next.

4. You should then be presented with a QR code. Scan it with the camera on your device that has the Microsoft Authenticator app installed.

5. You will be asked where to save the Passkey. Please choose your Microsoft Authenticator app.

6. You may get asked to save a name for your Passkey. Name it something that makes sense to you, for example, Emma's Authenticator app. Click ok.
