"X Introduces Global Passkey Login Option for iOS Users"

X, formerly Twitter, has made passkey login available globally for iOS users, following its earlier introduction for US-based users. Passkey, developed by the FIDO Alliance, offers a more secure login method using individual device-generated codes, reducing susceptibility to phishing attacks. Users can enable passkey through the X app's security settings, and those still using SMS 2FA are advised to migrate to other authentication methods or subscribe to X Premium.

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

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.

"Say Goodbye to Passwords with 1Password and Google Passkey Support"

1Password is launching an open beta for passkey management on June 6th, allowing users to save and manage their passkeys, a biometric-based login technology that replaces passwords and verification systems. Passkeys use public key cryptography and a device's own authentication, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, to sign into apps and services. The technology was developed by the FIDO Alliance and provides better protection against hacking and phishing attacks. While passkey support is not yet widely adopted, 1Password's cross-platform syncing and directory of supported sites and apps make it a convenient option for users.

The Future of Passwords: Passkeys and Alternatives

1Password CEO Jeff Shiner spoke to 9to5Mac about the future of password managers with passkeys, a new technology that replaces traditional passwords. Passkeys, developed by the FIDO Alliance, allow users to sign in with secure authentication methods such as facial recognition or biometrics. 1Password has joined the FIDO Alliance and is working to implement passkey support, which will be available this summer. Shiner emphasized the importance of making 1Password easy to use and educating users about passkeys. The company's Secret Key ensures that even if 1Password is hacked, the attacker won't have access to users' vaults.
