This tutorial will show you how to allow or deny if apps can enumerate passkeys for all users in Windows 11.
Passkeys provide a more secure and convenient method to logging into websites and apps compared to passwords. Unlike passwords, which users must remember and type, passkeys are stored as secrets on a device and can use a device's unlock mechanism (such as biometrics or a PIN). Passkeys can be used without the need for other sign-in challenges, making the authentication process faster, secure, and more convenient.
You can use passkeys with any applications or websites that support them, to create and sign in with Windows Hello. Once a passkey is created and saved with Windows Hello, you can use your device's biometrics or PIN to sign in. Alternatively, you can use a companion device (phone or tablet) to sign in.
You can choose if apps are able to enumerate (autofill) passkeys.
You must be signed in as an administrator to allow or deny passkey autofill access for all apps.
Here's How:
1 Open Settings (Win+I).
2 Click/tap on Privacy & security on the left side, and click/tap on Passkeys on the right side. (see screenshot below)
Open Passkeys Settings
3 Under Allow passkey autofill, turn On (default) or OffPasskey autofill access for what you want. (see screenshot below)
4 You can now close Settings if you like.
That's it,
