Alphabet unit Google is offering passkeys, a sign-in option, as
the default option across personal Google accounts.
The online search giant said users will start seeing prompts to
create and use passkeys to simplify future sign-ins the next time
they sign into their accounts, according to a blog post. An option
to "skip password when possible" will also appear.
To use passkeys, users will need to use a fingerprint, face scan
or pin to unlock their device. Google said they are faster than
passwords and rely on a type of cryptography that makes them more
secure. However, people will still have the option to use a
password and opt out of passkeys.
"But while they're a big step forward, we know that new
technologies take time to catch on--so passwords may be around for
a little while," Google said in its blog post.
