Google Passkeys: The Beginning of a New Era in Online Security?

-
Image
Google recently unveiled "passkeys," a new tool that makes logging into your Google account more convenient and safer. Traditional passwords, which can be challenging to remember and frequently result in security breaches, can be replaced by passkeys. We'll examine passkeys in more detail in this blog article, including what they are, how they operate, and what they portend for internet security in the future. What are Passkeys?

You'll be asked whether you want to make a physical key or use your phone as the key when you set up passkeys for your Google account.
