Microsoft announced Wednesday that the service will switch to Passkey as its primary identity verification method starting this September.</p> <p>Users who currently authenticate through SMS codes or voice verification prompts will automatically be enrolled in Passkey. The next time they&rsquo;re prompted for multi-factor authentication, they&rsquo;ll see a &ldquo;Register Passkey&rdquo; screen instead of the usual text message or phone call.</p> <img src="https://it-news.uk/images/itnews-977719-0.jpg" alt="" style="text-align: center;">
