Are you tired of remembering passwords for every online account? Google has heard your cries and is now introducing passkeys as an alternative. Passkeys are a simpler, more secure way to log into your favorite services without having to remember complicated mnemonics or trust password managers. Setting up passkeys may take some time, but it’s worth the effort if you want to live without passwords!
Google is making sure that users can remain secure when using their new system with two-factor authentication (2FA). This means that in addition to entering a passkey, users will need another form of verification, such as a code sent via text message or email before they can access their account.

So say goodbye forever to those frustrating forgotten passwords and welcome this exciting new technology with open arms!
