Say goodbye to passwords because Google $GOOGL is making passkeys the default way to sign in for all users.
Passkeys are the future of online security, and a more secure and convenient way to log in to websites and apps. They use your device’s authentication method, such as biometrics or a PIN, to verify your identity. This eliminates the need for passwords, which are easy to hack and forget.
Passkeys offer 3 main advantages over passwords:
1) They are phishing-resistant, meaning that they cannot be stolen by phishing attacks.
2) They are more convenient, as you do not need to remember or type in a password.
3) They are more secure, as they cannot be hacked or stolen.
As more and more websites and apps adopt passkeys, it will become more difficult for hackers to steal people’s accounts and data. This will lead to a more secure internet for everyone.
