Google supporting passkeys for password-free login
CBSN
Google is now offering users the option of using passkeys instead of passwords to sign in.
Starting Wednesday, account holders can use passkeys to login to their accounts with a fingerprint, a face scan or a screen lock PIN. Passkeys are safer than passwords, and they are resistant to phishing, Google said.
"While passwords will be with us for some time to come, they are often frustrating to remember and put you at risk if they end up in the wrong hands," the company said in a blog post.
