Not sure if this is the same thing, but KDE (on a linux system) presents me with options to login with smartkey/fingerprint, so it might, I’m guessing? I dunno if thay’s what passkeys are referring to, but if yes, then I think it does.
My understanding is that window’s passkey support differs from something like what is offered by linux distros in that, instead of storing your passwords in a strongly encrypted, audited, and trustworthy store like 1pw or similar, windows instead stores them in the OS.
Which personally I consider a con, I don’t trust windows to store pictures without fucking it up, why on earth would I give them passkeys?
Pretty sure that happened over a decade ago.
Same

What even is that? A precursor to Copilot? If so, DEFINITELY doesn’t qualify.
If you’re not using Notepad++, you’re wrong and should be ashamed of yourself
Absolutely abominable and mandatory. A winning combination 😮💨
Which all of the competitors except maybe Apple’s walled gardens already had?
Face it: windows has seen at most a handful of positive changes since XP and at least a dozen as many negative ones just since 7.
Apple has passkey support in all their OS’s too
Explorer tabs are 2022h2 so not that recent.
Terminal was 2020 so yeah that’s old.
Quick machine restore was only July.
Autopilot is enterprise provisioning any device from an out of box state. Only mobile devices have this.
Windows hello isn’t mandatory. it’s passwordless security, just like mobile devices.
I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

Not the same.
If it’a not (ie biometric, etc), what’s the difference or what is it on Windows?

Many websites can explain it better than I can from my phone.
