Tech Giants Push for Passwordless Future with New Biometric Passkeys

Passkeys are a new login method that use biometrics instead of passwords. They are more secure, can't be hacked or guessed, and are unique to each device.

Google has implemented passkeys that can be set up for your Google account. You need to enable them individually on each device.

Apple also has passkeys that utilize Touch ID or Face ID and are saved via iCloud Keychain. You can set them up on iOS 16+ devices.

Passkeys are automatically suggested when logging into supported sites on iPhones. On other devices, you scan a QR code to sign in.

Passkeys offer faster, easier, and more secure logins by eliminating passwords. Major tech companies are pushing for a passwordless future.
