Tech giant Google has started to roll out passkey support in Chrome with the Stable M108 version, for better safety. Passkeys are more secure as they cannot be reused, do not leak in server breaches and protect users from phishing attacks.
On Android the passkeys will be securely synced through Google Password Manager or any other password manager that supports passkeys. To sign in with a passkey, users will be required to authenticate themselves in the same way as they unlock a device.
Passkeys are created on industry standards and can function across different operating systems (OS). They can be used with both websites and applications that support them.
The company said, “With the latest version of Chrome, we’re enabling passkeys on Windows 11, macOS, and Android. Users can also choose to use a passkey from their nearby smartphone on a desktop device.
