The world’s largest search engine Google is going to release a new update for its password manager.
This new update makes it easier for users to use the ‘passkey’ tool across multiple devices on the Chrome web browser. The ‘Passkey’ tool is essentially an alternative to passwords that users can use to sign in to Google services and other accounts.
As reported by Microsoft Start, this tool is currently only available to Android users, to use the tool on other devices they need to scan a QR code.
Now after the recent update ‘Passkey’ tool can be used to login to different accounts in any device.
The company has stated that this new tool for Google Chrome will be available on Android devices as well as Windows, MacOS and Linux operating systems.
The new update is currently in beta testing for Chrome OS, but the company says that iOS support is also coming soon.
With this new update, once the ‘passkey’ is saved, it will automatically connect with other devices using Google Password Manager, the company said.
The company also says that this data is end-to-end encrypted, making it very difficult for a hacker to gain access to the data and steal it.
It is worth noting here that ‘passkeys’ are different from traditional passwords as they are digital credentials designed to allow users to sign in to various accounts without passwords.
It should be noted that the company has been using ‘passkeys’ in its software suite since last year.
