- Google starts showing prompts to create and use passkeys to streamline the way you sign in to your personal account.
- You’ll also see a new option to “skip password when possible” in your account settings page.
- Users will still be able to sign in with a password and can opt out of passkeys for the time being.
This is one of those things that are a good thing but could be really bad if they don’t have a way to backup or export the passkeys.
If they don’t, a lot of people who break their phone will get locked out of their account, but if they allow backups then at the very least it’s not guaranteed to lose access.
Assuming this is done right though it’s gonna be great for account security
