How to create a Passkey & benefits of having a passkey - hensen5005 - 08-11-2023
A passkey is an additional layer of security to your Microsoft account associated with your Xbox console. You can use this Passkey as an alternative to your account's user ID and password.
While selecting or changing the Sign-in and Security Preferences on your Xbox account, you can set the console to ask for your Passkey before you sign in, buy anything or change any setting. Thus, a passkey ensures you are safe from fraudulent or accidental purchases.

Here are the key benefits of having a passkey
[list]
[*]Passkey is beneficial since it will help you avoid the charges you might be making on the Microsoft account that you are entirely unaware of. When you enable the Passkey, the user will be required to enter it for any purchase, helping you protect the account from malicious activity.
[*]Passkey also helps you protect your account by not letting it slide into the hands of the children. Since many times a child can access the parent's account and do various things, having a passkey helps you have substantial control over it.
[*]You can sign in to any of your Xbox profiles since a passkey is linked with the account, and you don't have to do multiple signing in, helping users to focus on the better things only.
[*]If you forgot your Passkey, when you visit the Microsoft link code and enter the login details, the Xbox console will notify you that the Microsoft account password has failed.
