Google Passkeys Launch Explained
Google Passkeys has begun rolling out, and it lets users sign in to apps as well as websites without using any kind of password. Put simply, passkeys work the same way as unlocking a mobile device using a fingerprint, face scan or screen lock PIN, which means they are resistant to online attacks such as phishing.



This service is currently available for Google Accounts, with Google Workspace compatibility coming soon. When the latter starts, Google Workspace administrators will be able to enable passkeys for their end-users during the sign-in process. Try it out here now.
