"Passkeys: The Future of Account Security and Convenience"
Nintendo has introduced support for passkeys, a passwordless sign-in method that allows users to access their online accounts using their device's authentication methods such as fingerprint or face scan. Passkeys, built on WebAuthn technology, generate two keys - one stored by the website or service and a private key stored on the user's device. Nintendo joins other online services like TikTok, Apple, PayPal, and 1Password in offering passkey support as a more secure alternative to passwords.
