Google all Consumers As an effort to bring to passkeys has announced that its Apps And services are now ‘without’ by default Password K’ will be
The move aims to phase out passwords that have existed since the 1960s and move to a more secure and efficient format for verifying a person’s identity. Technology industry is part of a wider consensus between
Passkeys combine a code with biometric information such as a fingerprint or facial recognition, making them easier to remember and harder to steal.
Google apps such as YouTube, Search and Maps have supported the new format since it was first introduced earlier this year, though adoption has been slower than expected.
The technology company says it has asked users to adopt passkeys to mark Cyber Security Awareness Month and claims the new technology is faster and more secure.
Google product managers Sri Ramkara and Christian Brand explained the move in a blog post, writing: ‘These are 40 percent faster than passwords – and rely on a type of cryptography that makes them more secure. .
‘We will continue to encourage the industry to eventually move away from passwords and move to passkeys.’
Google users who don’t already use Pass will receive a prompt the next time they sign into their account.
Other online platforms, including eBay and Uber, have already enabled PassKeys as the tech industry looks to move away from traditional passwords altogether.
“We’ve seen great results from launching PassKeys in our apps and encouraging all users to adopt PassKeys,” said Ramson Betyusov, senior director of engineering at Uber. Ultimately it benefits both Uber and Uber users.’

Google, which has billions of users across its platforms, admitted: ‘It takes time to adapt to new technologies’, and that’s why people are temporarily switching to passwords instead of passkeys wherever possible. Authority has been granted.
The company hasn’t set a date for when passwords will be completely phased out, but some security experts say their demise is inevitable as hackers continue to exploit their vulnerability.
Helping to implement the transition is the Fido (Fast Identity Online) Alliance, which is working with Apple, Google, Microsoft and hundreds of other tech companies to develop the new login standard.
According to Alex Simons, head of Microsoft’s identity program management team, ‘The full transition to a password-free world will start with users making it a natural part of their lives.
‘By working together as a community across platforms, we can ultimately achieve this vision and make significant progress towards eliminating passwords.’
