This tutorial will show you how to see which apps have requested passkey creation, usage, and enumeration in the last 7 days for your account in Windows 11.

Passkeys provide a more secure and convenient method to logging into websites and apps compared to passwords. Unlike passwords, which users must remember and type, passkeys are stored as secrets on a device and can use a device's unlock mechanism (such as biometrics or a PIN). Passkeys can be used without the need for other sign-in challenges, making the authentication process faster, secure, and more convenient.

You can use passkeys with any applications or websites that support them, to create and sign in with Windows Hello. Once a passkey is created and stored with Windows Hello, you can use your device's biometrics or PIN to sign in. Alternatively, you can use a companion device (phone or tablet) to sign in.

You can review passkey creation, passkey usage, and passkey enumeration requests by apps on your device in the last 7 days.
