Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Microsoft is replacing passwords with passwordless options like passkeys for new accounts by default. The initiative features a redesigned sign-in process optimized for passkeys. While existing accounts can keep passwords, Microsoft reports nearly one million daily passkey registrations with a 98% sign-in success rate versus 32% for passwords.
