Synced Passkey Support: The Buzz Around Windows 10

Rumors are circulating about Windows 10 potentially supporting synced passkeys in the near future. This could be a game-changer, fostering widespread user adoption and intensifying the demand for this feature. Industry insiders believe that integrating the synced passkey functionality into Windows 10 should be relatively seamless. Hence, there's a possibility that, before Windows 10 reaches its end of life in October 2025, it might receive enhanced passkey management and Conditional UI features.
