If Microsoft really wants to push passkeys, why do they require Microsoft Authenticator for passwordless accounts? I already have a passkey set up and I'd be perfectly happy to delete my password, but I can't because I don't want yet another authenticator app exclusively for an account I barely use.


I was tempted to set this up, as I’ve been using passkeys everywhere that I can. But yeah, I’m not going to use Microsoft Authenticator for this one single account. I even already have a passkey for my Microsoft account.
