Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Oct. 10, according to 9to5Google, Google is actively encouraging users to set up Passkey for their accounts.

▲ source 9to5GoogleCTOnews.com Note: Passkey is a login authentication file composed of a set of keys, in which the public key is used to register the website or App, and the private key is stored on the user's equipment. After the user registers Passkey, the user can use various biometric features (such as fingerprint, iris) and PIN code on the device to log in to various website services with one click. Because PassKey is based on the FIDO 2 / WebAuthn standard, it supports cross-platform use.

After using Passkey, users can simply enter their Google account and log in using the authentication options of their phone or computer (PIN code, fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.).

▲ source 9to5Google foreign media said that users can still use traditional passwords to log in to Google accounts by turning off the "skip passwords as much as possible" option.

Google said that since the launch of Passkey, Google has found that more than 2 per cent of users find Passkey easier to use than traditional methods such as passwords and two-step authentication. "people think that access keys are easier to use because the login process is'40 per cent faster than passwords".

Google is working with a range of partners to enable access keys on Chrome and Android platforms to achieve the goal of "eliminating passwords".
