Microsoft hopes to replace passwords with passkeys, and it may work out.

Microsoft is planning to gradually update Windows and force users to use password keys instead of traditional passwords. However, users who prefer to continue using passwords can do so for now, but they are encouraged to take additional steps to enhance their security. One approach is to use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass. These tools make it easy to create and manage strong, complex passwords, as well as access other complex passwords through a single master password. While password keys may be more secure in the long run, they can still pose some risks if not used properly. Therefore, it is important for users to take additional precautions when using passwords or password keys to ensure their online security.
