"Unlocking Accounts and Enhancing Security: Google's Passkey Revolution"

TL;DR Summary
Google has introduced passkeys as a new way to protect user accounts, eliminating the need for passwords. Passkeys are personalized FIDO credentials, such as fingerprints or face scans, stored securely on the user's device. Unlike passwords, passkeys are near-impenetrable and cannot be hacked or guessed. Each device has its unique passkey, ensuring enhanced security. Users can set up passkeys with their Google account and also use them with iPhones through iCloud Keychain. Passkeys offer a faster and more secure way to log in to accounts, eliminating the hassle of remembering multiple passwords.
