This New passkey technology from Google will make your life easy when trying to sign into different accounts online. Passkeys are designed to replace passwords entirely and create a whole new way to authenticate your account login identity.
Users will be able to sign into apps and websites the same way they might unlock their smartphones. With a fingerprint ID, face scan ID, or PIN number.
New Passkey Technology from Google Will replace passwords
Instead of passwords, it will now be possible to log into the account using fingerprint, face scan, screen lock pin, etc. through the Passkey system. Google says this helps combat online attacks like phishing and is more secure than systems like OTP.
Google designed the feature to work on a variety of devices, including iPhones, Macs, Windows computers, and Google’s own Android cell phones.
For setting up passkeys, you will first have to enable them from your Google account. Then you can head over to g.co/passkeys. and begin setting up your new way to log in.
From that point, Google will no longer require you to use a password or two-step verification to access your account just your email.
The company says Google Workspace administrators will soon have the option to enable passkeys for their end-users during sign-in.
