Microsoft has started rolling out the new build 23486 to the Dev Channel for all Insiders. This comes with a major upgrade, as it now supports passwords. As many companies have been trying to go passwordless shortly, this makes it easier and more secure for users to sign into websites or applications. It also makes it harder for bad actors to get and use your credentials.
To improve the ecosystem, Windows 11 Build 23486 improves the passkey experience for Windows users. However, users need to enable passkeys on Windows, and by creating a passkey from account settings, users can sign in using passkeys.
After enabling it, if you see the Passkey UI, choose Windows Hello or External Security to get the Windows Native Experience. It is only available with Google Chrome Canary, and Edge Canary will soon add support for Passkey.
Taskbar and System Tray
- Users can choose to hide the time and date in the system tray. To do this, right-click on the system tray and select “Adjust date and time.”
