If you have trouble remembering the password for your Google accounts, you’re probably not alone. It’s also why Google has proudly announced “the beginning of the end of the password”. For the first time, Google now allows users to access their accounts via passkey, making it a lot easier to sign in to apps, websites, and more.
Starting today, Google users can now switch to passkey logins, skipping passwords and even two-step verification codes when signing. No more passwords with symbols and numbers. For reference, services like Docusign, Kayak, PayPal, Shopify, and Yahoo! Japan already offer support for passkeys as well.
But what are passkeys? For those unfamiliar, they’re essentially a new way to sign in to websites, apps, and many more relying on fingerprint, face scan, or pin lock. This means whatever means you sign in to the device you’re using, that’s what Google will use too. Unlike passwords, they are also resistant to online attacks like phishing. As a result, they are more secure than things like SMS one-time codes.
The only downside to using passkeys is that it will be dependent on your phone. As a result, you probably shouldn’t put 1234 or 0000 as your pin in the worst case scenario that someone steals your phone. That’s because they will end up having access to all your accounts protected by passkeys as well.
