Google claims that the passkey method will be 40 percent faster and rely on a type of cryptography that makes it more secure than the legacy password method.
When users sign in to their personal accounts, they'll see a prompt to create and use a passkey typically a face scan, fingerprint, or PIN as well as the "Skip password when possible" option turned on in their account settings.
Google has begun implementing passkeys by default after gradually rolling out the authentication approach to Chrome and Android and later to user accounts and Google Workspace during the past year, reports SiliconAngle.
