- Passkeys are being called the future of how we stay safe online, with major internet businesses hoping this new tech will kill off passwords for good.
The no-password solution uses biometrics or device pins to protect our accounts online using some clever encryption.
Passkeys check who we are - as well as if we have the right code.
It means increasingly that the future of logging in online will require thumbprints, PIN codes and facial ID.

can it read through Elastoplast?
It’s not just about security vs privacy. It’s also about choice and freedom - what if I WANT to share my password with a trusted spouse or parent in a specific situation? What if a parent WANTS to log in a previously unknown app used by his/her children to monitor their activity?
just get a yubikey -.-
The problem is you set it up on one device and then the next device blocks you out. Like setting up pass key on PlayStation account but then console locks you out. Even lmore frustrating than passwords.
Good god, the amount of comments on here from people wearing tinfoil hats. Clearly don't understand the basics of biometrics and encryption, now wonder IT security jobs are so well paid. 😆
Nonsense. Everything that is stored /managed digitally can be hacked. Passwords are good if they're well put together and stored only in one's head - and you use completely different pw for different service.
The future. And when they invalidate you on
The biometrics are just a string of data, data you cannot change. You can change your passwords.
God forbid your phone gets stolen or you change your phone number.
How would sharing accounts work ?
I live in Bangkok, while working for a company in Sukhumvit, I am sure 100% that somebody is controlling my notebook, it is not a feeling. He wanted to know how I worked and what material I searched. If you know how to handle, help answer.
Not even a whisper about the privacy implications of this technology? Just give us your unique biometric data, what could go wrong? We promise we won't sell it to foreign or even local government, won't use it to track your online behaviour with absolute certainty about who you are, even if you really are a victim of fraud and we promise not to apply weird and nuances laws against you to keep you in line. We need compliant citizens. Thank you and good night.
How is a PIN (usually 4 or 6 digits) more secure than passwords? 🤔
Star Wars The Old Republic offers a passkey thing
Is it decentralized?
That's all fine until you don't have your phone with you or it stops working or gets lost or stolen, then you're proper foooked
Trust some other entity besides youself to keep your password "Safe?"
Disappointing! So what are passkeys and how to use them etc.?
Pin code or patterns should not be accepted as a means of unlocking the phone as those are inherently weak.
