Passkeys

Passkeys are a new type of login credential that removes the need for passwords, making the login experience simpler and more secure. Passkey authentication requires either biometric authentication — such as a fingerprint or facial recognition — or a PIN or swipe pattern. Passkeys are secret keys that stay on the user's personal devices that can be used for authenticating to applications on phones, tablets, or laptops.
