Google Introduces Passkeys to Replace Passwords

Google has introduced passkeys as an additional authentication option for Google Accounts. Passkeys are cryptographic private keys stored on users' devices and are resistant to online attacks like phishing. They can be unlocked using biometric hardware or a PIN. Passkeys can be shared across devices using iCloud Keychain for Apple devices and Google Password manager for Android and Chrome devices. Google has been working with Apple and Microsoft to define standard approaches for passwordless authentication.
