Google has begun to roll out passkey support in Chrome with the Stable M108 version for increased security.
Passkeys are a more secure alternative to passwords and other perishable authentication factors, according to a blog post published on Thursday by the tech giant.
They are more secure as they cannot be reused, do not leak in server breaches, and protect users from phishing attacks.
Passkeys are created on industry standards and can function across different operating systems (OS).
They can be used with both websites and applications that support them.
To sign in with a passkey, users will be required to authenticate themselves in the same way as they unlock a device, IANS reported from SanFrancisco.
“With the latest version of Chrome, we’re enabling passkeys on Windows 11, macOS, and Android,” the company said.
“On Android, your passkeys will be securely synced through Google Password Manager or any other password manager that supports passkeys,” it added.
