Strong indications are emerging that sooner than later, those old passwords you’ve been recycling for years may soon be obsolete as Google moves toward a new way for you to access your online accounts
Say Goodbye to Passwords Google Introduces New Login Method
Google is introducing a new login method that could potentially replace the need for passwords.
Passkeys are being added as a safer and easier way for users to access their online accounts.
Unlike passwords, users won’t have to come up with a passkey to access an account.
Instead, they can have a unique one created for any site that they log into.
Passkeys are not meant to be remembered by users and are used by an online service to communicate directly with their device to help log in.
This makes it much harder for accounts to be hacked.
Passkeys are designed to work across most operating systems, including iPhones, Androids, Macs, and Windows computers.
With this new method, users can verify their identity on a trusted device with a PIN, fingerprint, or face scan, making the login process much easier and more secure.
