SINGAPORE — Tired of trying to remember dozens of passwords and having to reset them? Google on Wednesday (May 3) rolled out passkeys to all account users.
Passkeys let users sign in to apps and websites the same way they unlock their devices: With a fingerprint, face scan or screen lock PIN.
"For some time we and others in the industry have been working on a simpler and safer alternative to passwords. While passwords will be with us for some time to come, they are often frustrating to remember and put you at risk if they end up in the wrong hands," said Google. "However, this is based on the assumption that passkeys are securely stored. If your device can be easily hacked, then your passkey will be compromised," he added.
