Google Seeks To Use Passkeys As Main Login Option

The passkey options include a fingerprint, face scan, or pin number. Google said the passcodes are easier to remember, quicker to use and offer more security.

Google announced plans to change how users access their accounts.

The tech giant is looking to get rid of passwords by prompting users to create passkeys to unlock accounts and devices instead. The passkey options include a fingerprint, face scan, or pin number. Google said the passcodes are easier to remember, quicker to use and offer more security.

The company plans to make passkeys the go-to option though it will continue to support traditional passwords and users can dodge passkeys by disabling their account’s ‘skip password when possible’ option.

Passkeys have become a popular feature in the tech world and Google is hopping on the trend.
