This tutorial will show you how to delete passkeys saved for apps and websites on your Windows 11 device.
Microsoft believes that the future is passwordless. Passkeys will allow you to replace passwords when you sign into a web site or application that supports them. Passkeys represent a future where bad actors will have a much harder time stealing and using your credentials when signing into a web site or application. Passkeys are phish-resistant, recoverable, and faster for users.
Enroll and use passkey to sign into apps and websites: Microsoft is improving the passkey experience for Windows users. You can now go to any app or website that supports passkeys to create and sign in using passkeys with the Windows Hello native experience. Once a passkey is created, you can use your local or Microsoft account's Windows Hello (face, fingerprint, PIN) to sign in. In addition, you can use your phone to complete the application logon process.
Manage passkeys saved to your Windows device: Microsoft is giving you fundamental control over how you can manage the passkeys saved to your Windows device. Starting with Windows 11 version 22H2 KB5030310 Build 22621.2361,, you can now view and delete passkeys saved for your favorite apps/websites from Windows settings.
Deleting a passkey for a website saved to your Windows device does not remove/delete the passkey from your account settings on the website.

Here's How:
1 Open Settings (Win+I).
2 Click/tap on Accounts on the left side, and click/tap on Passkey settings on the right side. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on the 3 dots button for the app or website you want to delete the passkey for, and click/tap on Delete Passkey. (see screenshot below)
Some passkeys for login.microsoft.com can't be deleted, as they're used with your Microsoft Account for signing in to the device and Microsoft services.
4 Click/tap on Delete Passkey to confirm. (see screenshot below)
5 When finished, you can close Settings if you like.
That's it,
