Chrome now supports passkeys, the password killer

The Google Chrome browser now supports something new to secure your life: passkeys, a stronger, leak-proof version of a password that can use your phone as a token to authorize you to websites.

Passkeys can and will be stored inside the Google Password Manager, or inside apps that support passkeys within future versions of Android, Google said (fave.co/3URoRpj). Passkeys are enabled in the latest version of Chrome in Windows 11, macOS, and Android.

Passkeys are surprisingly easy to understand. You’re familiar with a username and password. The latter should be a complex series of letters and numbers—the longer the password, the more secure it is, in general (fave.co/3Py6OU4).
