This move toward passwordless authentication is a recognition of password-based security’s fundamental ineffectiveness. The announcement comes after Apple, Google and Microsoft committed to expand support for the passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium in March of this year. Users can store passkeys on their phones and computers, and use them to log in password-free.įor enterprises, the introduction of passkeys to the Chrome and Android ecosystem will make it much more difficult for cybercriminals to hack their systems.

In line with this passwordless vision, today Google announced that it is bringing passkeys to Chrome and Android, enabling users to create and use passkeys to log into Android devices.
