Tired of headaches with passwords? Ready for a future where online authentication is both faster and more secure? Then mark your calendars for Passkeys Week, November 18-22! Passkeys are an easier and more secure alternative to passwords, and are increasingly becoming the industry standard. Google is proud to support passkeys across Chrome, Android and beyond.
Part of our Spotlight Weeks series, this is your opportunity to dive deep into the world of passkeys – the revolutionary technology poised to replace passwords for good. Whether you're an Android or web developer, a security researcher, or just curious about the future of online identity, this week has something for you.
What are passkeys? They're a new type of credential that are far more secure than passwords and much easier to use. Imagine logging in with your device lock you already have set up, such as a fingerprint scan or a face scan, instead of typing out a complex string of characters. No password is used or stored on a server that could be compromised, keeping you safe from phishing attacks. And since there's no password, there' s no arcane string of characters to remember. That's the power of passkeys.
