No more passwords? Google looks to make passwords obsolete with passkeys

The company said in a blog post Tuesday they are looking to make passwords obsolete by prompting users to create passkeys, which allow accounts and devices to be unlocked with a fingerprint, face scan or pin number.

“We’ve found that one of the most immediate benefits of passkeys is that they spare people the headache of remembering all those numbers and special characters in passwords,” Google said. “They’re also phishing resistant.”
