Windows 11 Adds Native Support for Third-Party Passkeys

🔐 Microsoft has added native Windows 11 support for third-party passkey managers, beginning with 1Password and Bitwarden. Introduced in the November 2025 security update, the platform-level passkey API lets Windows generate a cryptographic key pair while storing the private key in the chosen manager, and uses Windows Hello (PIN or biometric) to verify logins. Microsoft also integrated its Microsoft Password Manager from Edge into Windows so users can pick their preferred manager. The change aims to improve portability, phishing resistance, and ease of passwordless authentication across devices.

X requires re-enrollment of 2FA security keys by Nov 10

🔐 X is asking users who rely on passkeys or hardware security keys (for example, YubiKeys) to re-enroll their devices for two-factor authentication by November 10 or face account lockout. The requirement stems from X’s migration from the twitter.com domain to x.com, as existing keys are tied to the old domain. Users should visit x.com/settings/account/login_verification/security_keys to disable and then re-add keys; a password confirmation is required. Re-enrolled keys will be associated with the x.com domain and will continue to work after the migration.
