Browser Edge will allow keywordless authentication

Do you want to authenticate on a website or social network and do not remember the password, leading you to the boring recovery process? If you are a user of Microsoft's Edge browser, you will then "log in" through alternate Web authentication systems built into the system. The technological giant ensures a safe, fast experience without the need to decorate complex passwords.You can set a PIN, configure the system for facial or fingerprint recognition, and other formats via Windows Hello. The system is compatible with most webcams and print readers on the market, and a partnership with the Fido Alliance was created for the creation of encryption protocols and the provision of FIDO2 physical security keys. In addition, Windows Hello also allows you to use digital wristbands, smart watches, smartphones or other compatible devices that allow you to unlock the PC without passwords.Microsoft says it is working with industry partners to create the first online authentication experiences without the use of passwords. This means you can complete online transactions with just a "smile", for example.Subscribers to the Windows Insider service can begin testing the Microsoft Web Authentication system in build 17723. It is not yet known when the final version of the system will be deployed.
